Fair warning, it???s not production ready by any standard, so please take a look but don???t push it out to production???yet. Again, fair warning, DON???T USE THIS IN PRODUCTION.

It seems there is an article[3] on this, but we???ve tried every way we could think of and we couldn???t get it to work. The machine shows up in virsh list, but if you connect with the console it just says ???Escape Character ^]??? and just sits there.  

I think the key here may be "headless". The script at [1] works for me (I use it all the 
time) and uses *--graphics none* on the virt-install command line. Be sure to read through
the script before using it. You'll also need to create a seed iso for cloud-init user-data.
