MFojtik and/or Lutter; see below question regarding Delta-Cloud support for RHEVm3.1 Itamar, I have been using the floppy method as the 3.1 iso method was not available when I started working on this. A RHEVm3.1 test system was set up just a few days ago in Westford which I could start to use for testing the iso method. Do you think it makes sense to support both or just move to supporting only 3.1 iso method for Cloud-Init? Is support for the RHEVm3.1 iso method available in Delta-Cloud? (cc-ing Delta-Cloud) Can you point me at examples of how the instance will access the data from the 3.1 iso method? Thank you for the help and input!
