Description

Provide a method for users to upload data / content, that would be transferred to the loaded machine at load time.

There are cases where a unique config or some xml data might need to be applied to a reservation or image at load or reservation time.

The image creator would upload this generic data to along with the image profile, and would make use of the vcl_post_load and vcl_post_reserve.

Since this might be sensitive data, it should be stored in /root/.vclcontrol for linux and a similar location for windows.
