CLOUDSTACK-8715: Add VirtIO channel to all Instances for the Qemu Gueâ¦
â¦st Agent
This commit adds a additional VirtIO channel with the name
'org.qemu.guest_agent.0'
to all Instances.
With the Qemu Guest Agent the Hypervisor gains more control over the
Instance if
these tools are present inside the Instance, for example:
* Power control
* Flushing filesystems
In the future this should allow safer snapshots on KVM since we can
instruct the
Instance to flush the filesystems prior to snapshotting the disk.
