Hi All, I'd agree that we need something that people can really do stuff in. I have been using the ubuntu cloud image lately (for testing config drive as it happens) because it has cloud init in it 😊 by default. They are about 300MB to download.

Same was true with centos 6.0 OS type - all IDE/intel nic, while centos 6.1-6.5 OS types were properly VirtIO "hardware". I just assume in 4.11 there is also new centos 7.1-7.x as OS type with also VirtIO "hardware". Hope that makes sense.
