Prepare Fedora cloud image for rackspace public cloud

gistfile1.sh

#Get Fedora cloud image
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/20/Images/x86_64/Fedora-x86_64-20-20140407-sda.qcow2

#Set a root password so that you can modify your image
sudo yum install libguestfs-tools
sudo libguestfs-test-tool
sudo virt-sysprep -a Fedora-x86_64-20-20140407-sda.qcow2  --root-password password:SomePassword

#start modified image in kvm and connect via console:

root@fedoracloud ~]# yum install vim
#File: /etc/ssh/ssdconfig
permitrootlogin yes
#password authentication no
root@fedoracloud ~]# /etc/init.d/sshd restart

Log in over ssh. (consoles suck)
