How to validate images for VMs

Why is validation necessary?

1. The purpose of validating an image is to insure that it is legitimate and hasn’t been replaced by a tampered iso.
2. Validation is necessary before the virtual machine manager will enable an image to create a virtual machine
3. Unfortunately, the validation process differs for each Linux distribution as described in their documentation
4. This presentation explains the process for the following distros
   1. Fedora
   2. Rocky Linux
   3. Alma Linux
   4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
