Anyone working on an ansible-vagrant like module for kvm? We have  
need of something like this, but virtual box doesn't work for us.  
Anyone stepping into the ring on this yet?

Hello Jim,

We have some modules that might be of use in the ansible-provisioning  
repo ( [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-provisioning](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-provisioning) ). Patches for  
improvements or more features are gladly accepted!

The only manual step needed to provision a system with libvirt+kvm+lvm  
storage right now is to create the VM (xml/virt-manager). A module to  
define a guest from a libvirt XML description is on my todo list and I  
hope to write it this week.

Greetings,

Jeroen

great news, thanks Jeroen, I'll check that out and see if I can help,
