Can you give some examples of your system in practice Dan? I'm
confused as to why the YAML is there as an intermediate layer.
Ideally I want to be able to do something like this on a host:
virt {
vmname => 'example-host',
virt_ram => 512, # Megs, changeable
install_kernel => '/path/to/vmlinuz',
install_initrd => '/path/to/initrd.img',
virt_disk_size => 100 # GB, not changeable
ensure => running,
autoboot => true,
}
FYI, some things I want to make sure we can do:
* install qemu and KVM guests
* install Xen guests both fullvirt and paravirt
* kernel + initrd installs (not image based) if the given VM name does
not exist (if we do images, we do them second).
* change RAM assigned to virtual machine
* control virtual machine start/stop state as well as "autoboot at
next OS restart" state
* change number of virtual CPUs.
Eventually we'll want to augment install_kernel and install_initrd to
take an image, and then for bonus points, a cobbler profile or system
name and a server address, in which case, it wouldn't need to supply
any parameters other than the name of the profile/system.
