Hello oVirt Users! Recent the team that I work on began investigating oVirt as a virtualization platform. It is extremely promising, however we have some questions about how oVirt does provisioning using Cloud-Init. Specifically the question is: On the wiki the it states "We are most interested in using config-drive version 2 [2], which is also in supported by OpenStack". Is that currently how Cloud-Init is providing the datasource to the machine is via a config-drive being mounted? And the last question: How frequent is too frequent to ask questions to this mailing group :D --- - name: Adam Mills title: Network Engineer

Very good!

Yes. If you start the vm through run-once and specify to use cloud init (with any configuration specified) a second cdrom drive is attached automatically containing cloud-init infos. Cloud-init will read that drive and apply the configuration accordingly.

My request would be a different thread per question topic and sensible subject line. That would make it easier for all to read and respond. Y.
