2-cents: It's an interesting request to consider. As part of cloud automation, being able to kick off a configuration script is important.

I think some sort of startup script or agent would be needed to be staged in the guest VM first - not sure how one would otherwise communicate with a new machine securely. Then once the SSH keys are generated, that generic script could then invoke a configuration server to proceed with the next steps.

This reminds me that we need to start considering the PaaS specifications soon. As part of PaaS, being able scale new machines up and configure them is important.

Greetings,

I was wondering if it was possible to send shell commands to new hosts started with OCCI. I would like to do launche some java -jar after the host has started, preferably without using a script on the host.

I couldn't find anything anywhere about it (OCCI Core, OCCI HTTP Rendering, OCCI Infrastructure).

Thank you, regards
