=================

Quickly bring up Ubuntu or FC20 Cloud instances in local

KVM with virsh using cloud-config.

Requirements:

 * Make

 * wget

 * cloud-utils (cloud-localds)

 * qemu/kvm

 * libvirt (virsh)

 * virtinst (virt-install)

Usage:

.. code-block:: shell

   # Define cloud-config data

   $ editor myhost01.user-data

The cloud-config user data looks something like this:

.. code-block:: yaml

   

   #cloud-config

   hostname: example

   manage_etc_hosts: True

   

   ssh_pwauth: False

   

   ssh_authorized_keys:

    - ssh-rsa AAAAB.....

   

   package_upgrade: true

You can find more examples of what you can do with cloud-config

from the `cloud-init documentation `_.

If you saved the cloud-config to file myhost01.example, you can

now launch a virtual machine.

.. code-block:: shell

   # Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty

   $ make ubuntu-myhost01

   

     OR

   

   # Fedora Core 20

   $ make fc20-myhost01

The Makefile:

 1. downloads the base cloud image (reused for new VMs),

 2. creates a root disk image for it, packages the user-data

    to an ISO 9660 file, and

 3. defines the machine with virt-install so it can be started.

You can now start the VM with:

.. code-block:: shell

   $ virsh start myhost01

What you do with your VM after this is up to you.
