Using oVirt and Vagrant
Introducing oVirt virtual machine management via Vagrant.
In this short tutorial I'm going to give a brief introduction on how to use vagrant to manage oVirt with the new community developed oVirt v4 Vagrant provider.
Background
Vagrant is a way to tool to create portable and reproducible environments. We can use it to provision and manage virtual machines in oVirt by managing a base box (small enough to fit in github as an artifact) and a Vagrantfile. The Vagrantfile is the piece of configuration that defines everything about the virtual machines: memory, cpu, base image, and any other configuration that is specific to the hosting environment.
Prerequisites
- A fully working and configured oVirt cluster of any size
- A system capable of compiling and running the oVirt ruby SDK gem
- Vagrant 1.8 or later
- The oVirt vagrant plugin installed via
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-ovirt4
The Vagrantfile
To start off, I'm going to use this Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = 'ovirt4'
config.vm.hostname = "test-vm"
config.vm.box_url = 'https://github.com/myoung34/vagrant-ovirt4/blob/master/example_box/dummy.box?raw=true'
config.vm.network :private_network,
:ip => '192.168.56.100', :nictype => 'virtio', :netmask Continue reading
