So it would be great if you took a look and did the same:) That helps me understand the end-to-end workflow a lot :) In your script, you log in to a guest and copy a bootable image by cp command to a volume, but I'm wondering if there's a way to create bootable volume using only APIs. Otherwise it's a bit hard to manage from operator's or dashboard's point of view. I'll run your script next week and see how it goes. Thanks a lot!
