Details on the VMPayload feature can be found in http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/VMPayload Basically, the purpose of the feature is to allow passing a payload to a guest upon startup, exposed as either a CD or Floppy device.

Would you consider exposing it via rest service as well? similar to how amazon allows to consume user data? This would allow a more structured data, and less requirement on the guest it self. thanks, Ohad

yes, that's what the following sentence tries to hint at... "In the future also injection and payload via private IP"
