baseline can be used for preparing basic test images. It's suitable for use only as a verification that our baseline library script is working as expected or for a very vanilla image. This is controlled by the IMAGE environment variable ex: $ export RESEAL=true $ IMAGE='CentOS 7' vagrant up --provider=openstack If $RESEAL is not set then the system will not be cleaned up in preparation for snapshotting. This is mostly useful for troubleshooting a vagrant definition before you do your final creation and snapshot.
