Add documentation on `cloud-init` and `qemu-guest-agent`

Open zdzielinski opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Ran into this when first using this provider, it might be nice to document that installing various cloud-init packages and the qemu-guest-agent (as well as enabling their services) is required for using VM templates with initialization data and/or obtaining specific IP and associated data from VM's. Having this in the VM documentation section could have saved me an (albeit small) amount of time.

Closed the initial pull request to move toward a specific branch instead of master on my upstream repository.

Hello @zdzielinski, #281 should add the necessary data source for the IP address reporting. Since both the IP address reporting and the ovirt_vm resource have initialization-related components, the best way to document this would be a guide as described in the Terraform plugin docs. Would you be up for writing such a guide for the new Terraform provider?
