B - i'm trying to write doctext for this, but was this actually fixed? Or, is it an issue with RHEVM 3.5?
Marianne, In RHEVM 3.5.5.0 a change was made that now requires us to also pass "<use_cloud_init>true</use_cloud_init>" with our request. However, even when passing this new flag, the cloud-init script is still not used by RHEVM. This was fixed in RHEVM 3.5.6.0. Long story short, the changes I made fix cloud-init for RHEVM 3.5.6.0+ by adding the new flag, and cloud-init on RHEV just won't work against RHEVM 3.5.5.X.
Verified fixed in 5.5.2.1.20160114044944_395c086. Cloud-init functionality was tested on RHEVM 3.4.5 and RHEVM 3.5.7. A test cloud-init script was successfully injected and executed into the provisioned VMs.
