How do I boot Ubuntu Cloud images in KVM?

Solution 1:

If you're following the documentation for "Local Hypervisor Natty onward", then you should be able to log in with ubuntu and passw0rd.

cloud-init in 12.04 images has a more straight forward way of providing customization data to images than the OVF data source that is described there.

For documentation on setting the password for 12.04 cloud images see:

• https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Images#line-107

The cloud-init project is hosted on launchpad at:

• https://launchpad.net/cloud-init
