Set qemu quest agent metadata by default on images? #1086

Open flyersa opened 1 month ago

flyersa commented 1 month ago

Hi all,

how about to set hw_qemu_guest_agent = yes as default on images that come with the image manager?

The background is that this is a required setting on the source image if a cloud has a rescue image which works with volume backed vms and is required to set a root password if no network connectivity might be present for some reason.

In addition to that if someone opts in to install qemu-quest-agent on a VM (for whatever reason) at a later stage it wont work because the virtio-ports in /dev are missing without this option.

Not sure about the security implications here. Just an idea

I will add this to the agend of the next SCS IAAS call to get some more input on this topic.
