   @wido @GabrielBrascher I agree we can't assume mgmt server has SSH access 
however;
   - we should explore options to implement this without introducing a new 
service (my main concern is from security and upgrade point of view, a lot of 
people don't like non-essential services running on hypervisor)
   - for example, (1) what if I the admin wants to do some maintainance etc 
which requires stopping of the agent - in that case could your changes cause 
any side-effect, (2) systemd can be configured (probably already is?) to have 
this service always start on boot and on-crash/on-error
   - agent has a stop command answer it can tell mgmt server why it is stopping 
- that can be used intelligently to not cause HA led migrations (I haven't 
checked, probably already-is?)
   - if this new service is essential, can it be secured using CA-framework 
generated certificates so at least the communication is validated (the simplest 
being server certificate was signed/created against the root CA cert)
   - and a global setting/kill-switch for users who don't want/need this 
additional feature/service (for ex. NFS users?) and have it disabled by default
