Chapter 10. Generating a WSL 2 image with RHEL image builder

Procedure

1. Build the customized RHEL image:

   # image-builder build wsl --blueprint <blueprint-name>

2. Download the image:

   # image-builder image <UUID>

   RHEL image builder downloads the image to the current directory path. The UUID and the image size are displayed:

   $ UUID-image-name. type: size MB

   The image filename defaults to using the unique identifier included in the filename, such as af9e8627867e-image.wsl. The unique identifier number is provided to the wsl.exe utility.

3. Import the wsl image to the Microsoft Windows system and start the image installation.
