Add support for specifying ssh commands to execute on an instance about virt-deploy HOT 4 CLOSED

wouldn't cloud-init solve this?

from virt-deploy.

@itamarh, yes the specific use case can be solved with cloud-init.

Probably a more useful implementation for what @jscotka is proposing, is extending the current ssh command to support the usual:

$ virt-deploy ssh instance remotecommand args...

That solution would solve @jscotka's use-case (without coupling it with the instance creation) and it will make the virt-deploy ssh command similar to the real ssh command.

I'll open a separate issue to support cloud-init, I am sure it will be a much more extensive feature (with low priority for now), because each driver will have to have its own implementation.

I've solved similar issue by helper function vm_ssh:
https://github.com/jscotka/cockpit/blob/new_test_structure/test/tests/lib/create_test_machine.sh#L149
It is good that it directly support also commands like:
tar czf - . | vm_ssh $NAME tar xzf - --directory /root/avocado/tests/
what is very useful in case comething should be copied to/from guest
