[ovirt-users] Re: Ansible example for creating VM from qcow2 image?

Hello, creating a VM with QCOW2 disk is as easy as that. The only requirement to run this is having QCOW2 disk named "centos7" in your engine: --- - hosts: localhost gather_facts: false tasks: - name: Obtain SSO token ovirt_auth: url: https://<engine_fqdn>/ovirt-engine/api username: admin@internal password: <pass> - name: Create a VM with QCOW2 disk ovirt_vm: auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}" state: present cluster: Default name: jzmeskal_centos7 disks: - name: centos7 bootable: True Now if you'd like to use cloud-init, that's a different story and you probably won't get around using templates. From the Ansible point of view, it's quite easy - you just use *cloud_init* key of *ovirt_vm* module. However for that to work, your VM has to be either created with a disk that has *cloud-init *package installed or created from a template that is cloud-init enabled. See my response from December here <https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/VD2DREZYMDY... . Another user was interested in pretty much the same topic. Hope this helps!
