Change owner(s): Mike Ruckman <roshi at fedoraproject.org>

testCloud [1] is a small tool to download and boot cloud images locally. 

== Detailed Description ==
testCloud was created because manually booting a cloud image locally can be a 
pain. It handles downloading the image, spoofing cloud-init metadata as well as 
providing an ssh_config to easily connect to the booted instance. What was 
usually several different steps to get an image to boot locally is now just 
one:

 python testCloud.py <url for qcow2 image>

It currently supports both the Fedora Cloud Base as well as the Atomic host 
image.

Note: testCloud will likely change names in the near future. 

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Mike Ruckman, Kushal Das to implement proposed change 
* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) 
* Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) 
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
