Alessandro, Your points make a lot of sense, orchestrating with yet another external management server like SCVMM and vCenter is a lot complex than orchestrating host directly. With agent mode (orchestrating host directly), the next question you might want to answer is to how to deploy and aut

Hi, I'm not a big fan of all the bash scripts which are being called on KVM system for deploying the System VM's. They try to mount the guest, inject data (like SSH keys) and then continue the boot process of the guest. It's something I don't like and I think libguestfs [0] can help here.
