I'm unassigning myself as I won't have bandwidth to do this, sorry :/

Since this is meant to be used by customers with development subs, we should register as such on console.redhat.com

I propose this structure for the blog post.

Title: Customize AWS cloud images with Image Builder and Packit

  1. Packit intro
    • install the app, get approved
    • set up RPM builds and VM image build
    • verify it works, show how to install those RPMs
  2. console.redhat.com
    • create a new account using the developer sub
    • pair with AWS
  3. Choose project: ideally something that can be demonstrated in the terminal, our hello-world is a good candidate
  4. Create a PR with a change (i.e. change terminal color of "world" output)
  5. kick off vm_image_build
    • inform them the image can't be accessed in their console.rh.c
    • it's shared with AWS
  6. go to AWS, create EC2 instance, verify
