Start with building of rpms: https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/11 Then move on to configuring your system for dynamic ansible inventory of libvirt guests: https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/12 This one covers my vmcreate (to make a new guest entirely), vmprep (to prepare a template for cloning) and vmclone (guess what this does? ) scripts to make generating test instances easier... https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/13 This reminds me I really need to finish and publish my pending stuff... sudo mktime? Feel free to contact me about any of this or the scripts I have on github if you want to build something >
