Description

Get rid of PING, implement a solution that:

• takes/restores image on host: Use Partimage or DD to restore a disk image to baremetal host and take an image from host and saving as CloudStack template
• a way to notify state of provisioning. Especially when provisioning is done.
• have a well organized API and doc
• easy to setup.
