you can use the custom script text box in oVirts cloud-init section,
there you can add any cloud-init section - adding files examples can be found

Hi Shahar,

Thank you for the reply.

To be honest I knew for those scripts but I want to do it in automate fashion just like in that example that I put in my original message. I have tried to specify in params.Files class multiple files:

vm_file1 = params.Files(file=[params.File(name = 'file1', content = file1_content, type_= 'PLAINTEXT')])
vm_file2 = params.Files(file=[params.File(name = 'file2', content = file2_content, type_= 'PLAINTEXT')])

and then give them as arguments to params.CloudInit _init_ constructor (files=...) just like in that example above but it seems that I am doing something wrong because it does not write multiple files - it writes only when you specify one file all right. The exception is "Error: 'list' object has no attribute 'export'" (I tried to specify those files as a list - files=[vm_file1,vm_file2]).

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,

Branimir
