KVM images in Bexar

Asked by Nikolaj Sjujskij

Bexar release announcement says that it's now possible to handle KVM images "natively" (or transparently, at least), but docs seem to lag behind and I can't found anything there on the subject.
How should one register Qemu/KVM image for Nova to handle and run instances of it?

You can use euca-bundle-image, euca-upload-bundle and euca-register to add machine images into your object store. Afterwards try running your image with euca-run-instances. If that's not working for you extract the ramdisk and the kernel from the image and add them to the objectstore, too. Set the flags --ramdisk or --kernel to true and afterwards re-add the machine image and use the flags --ramdisk ID-RAMDISK and --kernel ID-KERNEL. If have not tried the first way, the second one is working for me.
