Do Redhat cloud images exist for ppc64le for RHEL 7.4, RHEL 7.5, RHEL 7.5(P9)
Hi,
I need to use the cloud images of Redhat that can be used in Openstack.
I need following cloud images for ppc64le:
1.RHEL 7.4
2.RHEL 7.5
3.RHEL 7.5(POWER 9 - P9)
On the site I see only :
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 KVM Guest Image :
https://access.cdn.redhat.com//content/origin/files/sha256/c6/c659a282caab5a6847c5a0ae4fbc5c8412ed9f579e6649ad2231c523461d7892/rhel-server-7.5-ppc64le-kvm.qcow2?auth=1525841067_f7e644d90b156c17252826bbdec7f9bd
I do not see any cloud image for RHEL 7.4 and RHEL 7.5(P9) .
Are these not available at all for ppc64le?
Any idea if and when they will be supported?

There are RHEL-7.5 guest images for ppc64le as you point out. These images will only work with IBM P8 processors in LE mode. Currently there isn's a guest image that supports IBM P9 processors. These images support cloud-init and work well as a 'cloud' guest.
You can use the steps described in the KB article to convert clone and convert a P8 guest image into a P9 image by using the kernel from the P9 product stream.
