Description of enhancement: Section 7.8 provides some of the steps to use cloud-init. This RFE requests step by step documentation on how to make the Red Hat provided KVM Guest Images (which are preconfigured as Cloud-init aware) accessible for use by RHV. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1 Section/URL: 7.8. USING CLOUD-INIT TO AUTOMATE THE CONFIGURATION OF VIRTUAL MACHINES, https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html-single/virtual_machine_management_guide/#sect-Using_Cloud-Init_to_Automate_the_Configuration_of_Virtual_Machines Additional info: * RHEL 7.3 KVM Guest Image can currently be found on the Customer Portal at https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.3/x86_64/product-software * Currently, you must upgrade cloud-init to 0.7.9 for some functionality. This may be done by temporarily enabling rhel-7-server-rh-common-rpms or rhel-7-server-beta-rpms repository while updating cloud-init
Can you share your thoughts on what needs to be done here?
I believe nothing code-wise. Just describe where to get it, how to import it into environment (upload disk, create a VM) and run with the desired cloud-init configuration
Assigning to Billy for review. Billy, the strategy is to first get this content into 4.1, and then review whether the same steps apply to 4.2.
Yaniv, could you please confirm that the information in this new section is still true in RHV 4.2?
