Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's not admin friendly to setup a Photon OS-VM by OVA template, when you need to setup keyboard layout, network interface and ssh enablement.
If these 3 settings could be configured by ova deployment, the OVA template would be much more easier to use.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add configuration to ova with following subjects:

  • network interface
  • ssh enablement
  • keyboard layout
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified. Start by locating the OVA deployment configuration in Photon OS and determine how network interface, SSH enablement, and keyboard layout are currently provisioned; done means all three settings can be supplied during OVA deployment.
