Hi,
I am testing the OpenStack / Heat with the Fedora cloud images:
fedorapeople.org / groups/heat/prebuilt-jeos-images/F17-x86_64-cfntools.qcow2. I am having some network issue which prevent me from ssh to that instance but I can get to the console via VNC.
However, the console prompt me for the root password, which I have no idea. Could anyone please help me out here?
Thanks a lot and happy Holidays!
AFAIK, the root account is disabled (probably tty login too), cloud image uses cloud-init service to get metadata (inc. ssh keys) from the cloud environment/infrastructure.
You can use libguestfs to edit the image directly and enable direct login, etc...
IMHO the root account is disabled. And in general, your ssh key will be injected.
But: there is an option to set the admin password for an image as well (note: this requires rebuilding of the image)
Regarding network: did you add a security role?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am having network connectivity issue from the host to the guest (F17), Openstack security rules are in place for ICMP and SSH. I will try libguestfs suggestion, if anyone has done it, please post the instructions here.
