Ill see if that can get me going on an easy path.
Regretfully there's something wrong with the cloud-init on the CirrOS image
we download, so it doesn't work well.
Two alternatives I can think of:
1. Download a different image - CentOS and Fedora both work well, for
example. The downside is that it's a bit slow.
2. Upload an image using the upload API. This has the advantage that it's
(1) quicker and (2) will add an additional test to ovirt-system-tests,
which is always a good idea. There's already an example available (
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/upload...
) .
Downside: will take a bit of space on the git repo, if the image will be on
o-s-t git repo.
Per uploading: I'm not sure. This might be pretty complex. Vagrant has a
concept of boxes (for non local files its usually just a zip folder with a
metadata manifest) [1] and uploading to their cloud platform atlas [2] but
that kind of gets outside the realm of Vagrant and more into the niche that
Packer[3] fits.
Packer support for oVirt is waiting for the Go SDK and for someone to
implement it.
Y.
There has been some work on packer with qemu[4] but not oVirt so
possibly
thats a good place for another project to fit (ovirt packer provider)
