scontent = "write_files:\n- content: |\n search example.com\n nameserver 10.10.10.1\n nameserver 10.10.10.2\n path: /etc/resolv.conf"For example (and just for example), I want to write to /etc/issue and /etc/hosts not only /etc/resolv.conf. In essence, when vm goes to run-once mode I want to write more than one file to a vm via Python (using CloudInit) in automated fashion (and not touching oVirt GUI at all).
