- Be in
qcow2format and have .qcow2 file extension. - Be cloud-init enabled.
- Use an operating system that is supported as a stock image operating system.
For more information about managing images, see link.
Use these custom scripts to validate the candidate guest machine.
There are many tools available to migrate data from the source to the target machine. This
script uses an open source utility rsync with the some default commands.
