Maybe we should really push for virt-sysprep as it is much more mature in sense of legacy compatibility, nothing extra needed inside the guest. At least a simple passthrough of some basic stuff (we have only a basic stuff in cloud-init anyway).

Well, I reported the cloud-init bug.

atm I write a helper script to parse the cloud-init data myself.

virt-sysprep cannot set IP-Information beside the MAC out of the box,
so this is also no solution.

I feel like there must be made some huge efforts to be able to automate
vm deployment.

I can't believe I'm the only one who needs this features.
how do you deploy vms? set everything up by hand? do you always
install $latest_OS_version with selfcompiled software?

that's not always possible, especially for production environments.

See also my other mail regarding IPv6 Support in Cloud-Init and
no proper static networking support.
