oVirt and Cloud-Init integration

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

oVirt integrates Cloud-Init by creating a config drive delivered as a CD-ROM named config-2 CD-ROM and using Cloud-Init’s no-cloud and config-drive data sources so Linux templates with cloud-init run first-boot configuration. implementation changes touch engine (UI, REST, VM payload construction, instance-id handling), vdsm (multiple payload files and drive naming), and minor cloud-init patches for Fedora. demo shows hostname, files and SSH keys set from the injected metadata. missing: persisting user-data to templates, support for custom user scripts, and tighter guest-agent installation flows.
