bootstrap-vz
===========================================
bootstrap-vz is a bootstrapping framework for Debian.
It is is specifically targeted at bootstrapping systems for virtualized environments.
bootstrap-vz runs without any user intervention and generates ready-to-boot images for
[a number of virtualization platforms](http://andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz/providers.html).
Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using [manifests](http://andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz/manifest.html) as well as supporting a high degree of customizability through plugins.
bootstrap-vz was coded from scratch in python once the bash script architecture that was used in the
[build-debian-cloud](https://github.com/andsens/build-debian-cloud) bootstrapper reached its
limits.
