Disk Image Builder builds Ubuntu, Fedora, and other images and this should be preferred because it ensures the latest version of Octavia is used and deployed. Some installations (notably devstack on memory challenged machines) require a smaller footprint. This page explore the step which need to be taken to create amphora imaged with alternate Linux. For best results follow for instance http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/ubuntu-image.html
