Hi Itamar
In the Wiki I see references on attaching floppy/iso as a payload. Is it
possible to trigger a bash script (with parameters), for example,
inside the guest using this mechanism?
If so, can you please point me to some documentation?
the payload is attached at boot.
cloud-init is a sample daemon which at guest startup look up for
payloads and acts on them.
for example, the deltaclout project has a cloud-init extension to read
from payload data it expects.

Is there a similar feature in oVirt as the Invoke-VMScript in of
VMware's PowerCLI? It allows you to run a script in the guest
OS, even
before the guest has networking connectivity ( the host talks to the
vmtools agent that's installed in the guest).
currently, you can attach to the guest a "payload", and have a
script in the guest expecting that payload and acting on it (which
is what cloud-init does).
Native KVM/libvirt option will be good as well.
if kvm/libvirt allow it, you can use a custom vdsm hook as well.
Thanks,
Shlomi
