Title: VM Image Creation Workflow and Introduction to Bare Metal Image Creation

Summary

The VM image creation process involves pushing code to GitHub, triggering a Jenkins job to checkout the Packer repository and run a service job. Packer then starts a VM for OpenStack Glance, configures it, installs applications, creates a snapshot, registers it to Glance, downloads the image, and uploads it to Artifactory. The next section will describe bare metal image creation.
