Cloud VM Simulator

This app simulates a cloud VM such as EC2. It can receive some user-data for cloud-init and it will provision a QEMU VM. It can also monitor the VM state and other things.

To specify a cloud image different than bionic, set this env var:

export CLOUD_VM_IMG_PATH=$PWD/whatever.qcow2

For append options, set these variables (make sure you have a vmlinuz file or a valid kernel as well):

export KERNEL_APPEND="root=/dev/sda"
export KERNEL_VMLINUZ_PATH="./vmlinuz"

TODO

• Create function to start QEMU with the provided user-data
• Serve user-data to QEMU
• If planning on running multiple VMs, copy the .img to tmp .img file
