Basic script to create qcow2 backed kvm domains based on a golden domain. Your golden domain must be using qcow2 To install the the dependencies on fedora 19 run the following: yum install libvirt-client qemu-img libguestfs-tools xmlstarlet libxml2 The virt-sysprep tool can do much more than this and I could potentially set the hostname and configure the machine to run some scripts when it starts up to check in with puppet which I may do in the future.

I have finally decided to learn all this stuff about Test Driven Design (TDD). I have a few projects that I go back to every now and then and it would be nice to be able to start hacking away without needing to remember every bit of the project. After looking around and investigating several other Continuous Integration systems I have ended up on Jenkins withShiningPanda plugin. The development team where I work uses Jenkins and it is reasonably easy to set up but I was initially against it because the machine I have to run it on is fairly low spec.
