Developer Target for Snappy

[Ben Howard]

In looking at the problems with creating VM images for developers, there
are a large number that use Virtualbox (i.e Vagrant) or VMware Fusion on
their shiny Macs. About a year ago we released Vagrant images that
quickly became extremely popular, with over 1M downloads.

While working on enabling VMware and Virtualbox, it became apparent that
we run a real risk of having a dozen downloads if we are not careful.
What I would like to propose is that we have the standard "core",
"cloud", and a "developer" image.

The idea behind the developer image is that we would put all the stuff
that makes development easy and target the "non-production" environments.

My initial proposed requirements are:

  * SSH enabled by default
  * Vagrant user defined
      o /home/vagrant exists
      o password is locked
      o defined a sudoer
  * Packages installed:
      o open-vm-tools
      o virtualbox-dkms modules pre-built
      o virtualbox-guest-utils
      o ssh-import-id

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ben
