Hi Everyone,

I'd like to propose a feature we've been doing some investigation into,
which is to integrate cloud-init support into oVirt.

Cloud-init is used to help provision new Linux systems by setting the
hostname, ip, ssh keys, timezone, injecting files, and more.  It's used
by OpenStack (amongst others) now, and has a lot of features that may be
helpful to our users.

Details are still evolving, but for more info please see the wiki page:

http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cloud-Init_Integration

All feedback is welcome!

a few questions:
- are you planning to save the info in the db by field, or as a single
  "blob"? maybe a better questions is are you going to persist it at
  all?
- i'd be careful before passing any passwords (page mentions root
  password) - you'd need to not persist it unecrypted, identify it and
  clean it from all logs, etc.
- hostname - should just assume the vm name?
- timezone - is that different than the windows one? for a windows
  guest as well?

Thanks,
   Itamar
