Just to provide some more background info: for DMTF CIMI, I will be pusing to standardize the EC2 approach, since it is the only one that properly decouples the VM from the infrastructure; IOW, the standard will hopefully mandate that each instance can access a web server at http://169.254.169.254/ from which it can get the user data.
To add more background^2: OVF has the notion of an 'activation engine', which includes passing some XML to the VM via a CD-ROM. Depending on where OVF support is on the ovirt roadmap, we could support user data injection that way.
Unfortunately oVirt modified ovirt in ways that make it not really usable as an API for passing to the hypervisor.
I don't understand. David
