This project provisions a RHEL/Fedora-based virtual machine using Terraform, Libvirt/KVM, and cloud-init. SSH keys, hostname, password injection, and HTTP setup are handled via cloud-init.

-
Creates a KVM virtual machine using libvirt provider
-
Injects SSH key and sets password via cloud-init
-
Installs Apache HTTP server and serves a simple HTML page with hostname
-
Sets custom hostname (e.g.,
dev-vm.localdomain)
-
Ensure the
id_rsa.pubused is valid and readable -
The password is set using a SHA-512 hash via
openssl passwd -6 -
