* Ben Cotton:
The creation of the VM disk image, uses the same kickstart files and
installation groups as the standard full installation, except of
course for the hardware-specific items. The image is optimized for
KVM.
That way, the VM resembles a default server installation as closely as
possible.
Will the image still attempt to download instance metadata over the
network (via cloud-init or some other mechanism), or is this excluded?
I think the cloud-init part is the most problematic (even dangerous)
aspect of using the existing cloud images under KVM.
Thanks,
Florian
