sbonazzo commented on OVIRT-1748:
---------------------------------

AFAIK if the ovirt-guest-agent is included in an appliance provided by Fedora or CentOS build system, the agent will crash by default when running on standard qemu (OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0')

So it will be unlikely added to distribution provided images.
We can respin the images ourselves but at least in integration team we have no man power to address this.
Can't user just install it with some ansible command or with cloud-init ?

> ovirt-guest-agent is an important part of the ovirt experience. So is glance.ovirt.org.
> By shipping images pre-installed with our guest agent, we would provide a better product for our users. Also, doing so would make it simpler to add tests the verify the state of the guest (e.g how many interfaces does it have, and what are its IP addresses).
