Re: [Engine-devel] Cloud-Init integration
Hi Greg,
Cool feature :) Some questions:
- Maybe the IP (and probably the hostname) should be enforced to be unique on the same
network? Or at least warning if duplicates found?
- Let's say if the IP is set by cloud-init, then you may also have it in the guest
agent info if the guest agent is installed. This may make life a bit more difficult for
the developers who build on rest-api. Is there a nice solution for this?
- for authorized keys, it would be a pain to copy-paste the public key each time you
install a guest. Could a default be stored let's say in the user's data?
- the hostname set for the guest could default to the VM name?
Thank you,
Laszlo

Subject: [Engine-devel] Cloud-Init integration
Hi Everyone,
I'd like to propose a feature we've been doing some investigation
into,
which is to integrate cloud-init support into oVirt.
Cloud-init is used to help provision new Linux systems by setting the
hostname, ip, ssh keys, timezone, injecting files, and more. It's
used by
OpenStack (amongst others) now, and has a lot of features that may be
helpful to our users.
Details are still evolving, but for more info please see the wiki
page:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cloud-Init_Integration
All feedback is welcome!
Thanks,
Greg
