{ "name": "ExampleEngine", "provider": { "name": "DummyProvider", "credentials": ["root@host1.net", "root@host2.net"] } }
VirshProvider
Description
This provider creates virtual machines on host provided by configuration.
Configuration Examples
Clone VM from pre-built template using virsh
{ "name": "VirshProvider", "connection": "user@host.net", "vm_name": "virsh-test", "clone_from_template": "devstack-template" }
LxcProvider
Description
This provider creates lxc containers on host provided by another provider. Container is attached to the same network as host.
Works well with ubuntu-13.10 hosts.
