Most images for the 9.5 release were created using a new image builder: [KIWI](https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/), from OpenSUSE. The images aim to be feature complete with the old images, and no serious regressions are intended. If you find a bug, please let us know and we will do our best to resolve or explain any differences.

The images still built with imagefactory are: Vagrant-VBox, Vagrant-VMware, and OCP-Base (Oracle Cloud Platform). The remaining Cloud, Container, and Vagrant images were built using KIWI. The new build workflow will enable Rocky Linux to provide more frequent updates to our images on all cloud providers.

You are invited to check out the [KIWI configuration](https://git.resf.org/sig_core/rocky-kiwi-descriptions/src/branch/r9) used as well as our [toolkit](https://git.resf.org/sig_core/toolkit) used to invoke KIWI.

@NeilHanlon Will this still be the case? Were there any changes to the process?
I remember the initial issues, but didn't really have time to follow up on that.

If it's still the case, we might just remove this section and add it as a note to the images above.

The Rocky Linux publisher account for Microsoft Azure has changed, and previous images are now deprecated. For more information, including details on how to migrate to the new account, please visit the [forums post](https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/rocky-linux-images-on-azure-important-update/13721).

In addition to the Azure Marketplace, Rocky Linux is available for free on the Azure Community Gallery, providing incredibly easy access to run Rocky on Microsoft Azure. Instructions on how to utilize the Community Gallery images can be found on this [news post](https://rockylinux.org/news/rocky-on-azure-community-gallery/).

That happened in 9.4 and isn't really new anymore, would also move that up to the images if at all.
