Hmmm, yeah -- current wording on the Cloud Base Image download page is
"The images on this page are Fedora Cloud images for creating general
purpose virtual machines (VMs)." However, that's not really accurate.

Maybe like:

"Fedora Cloud Base images are tailored for running in cloud
environments. Launch one and install Fedora packages to build your
cloud computing solution. If you are interested in running this on a
laptop, see the Vagrant images below, or check out [testcloud]."

Why not provide a image that has root or non-root user with std. passwd ?

whats the problem with that ?

Why add the vagrant dep at all ? I understand Vagrant is widely used

but for those who don't want to use, a simple ready-to-consume image

would help better. It could also help in attracting more attention / crowd :)

Also since cloud image is the most downloaded one, how about

providing a .iso file with pre-loaded user/passwd, so that people

willing to use cloud-image in non-cloud env (local, virt-mgr etc) can use

the iso file as the cloud-init data source ?
