For a complete list of requirements, see clone_on_prem_vm and import_image_and_run_aws_instance, respectively.

Playbook Variables

For a full list of accepted variables see: clone_on_prem_vm and respectively import_image_and_run_aws_instance.

Create a credentials.yml file with the folling contents:

Create an inventory.yml file with information about the host running the KVM hypervisor.
