I’ve come across a post by Marek Goldmann detailing the basics of running Fedora cloud images on kvm. I found it was a massive help, but only got me part-way toward what I wanted. The documentation for cloud-init is sub-par from what I can find, so I thought I’d post this with my own modifications. My requirements were: Easy scriptable deployment (Marek’s script got me 100% of this goal) Static (sequential) IP assignments instead of DHCP hostname !
