Manual provisioning of CentOS supported in 2.1

[axw]

With juju/juju#6954, Juju 2.1 (rc1 onwards) will support manual provisioning of CentOS machines. I have tested the CentOS 7 images from linuxcontainers.org in LXD. For those images there are some additional manual steps required to prepare them for manual provisioning:

• yum install sudo openssh-server redhat-lsb-core
• set root password (otherwise upon SSH login you will be prompted to reset)
• systemctl start sshd
• copy SSH public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys in container, chown root:root

With those changes made, you can do "juju add-machine ssh:root@" as per usual.

Can we please get a section added to the docs for this? I guess in clouds-manual?

I will mention the root password issue, but i think that is a consequence of using a LXD image (which I'm not sure will be common usage for manual provider) - a normal from-ISO install requires the root password to be set
