Hi,
in nova there are several options that can be defined in the flavor (extra
specs)
and/or as image properties.
This is great, however to deploy some of these options we will need offer
the
same image with different properties or let the users upload the same image
with
the right properties.

It will be interesting to have some of these options available as instance
metadata.
In this case the user would be able to speficy them when creating the
instance
(ex: --meta hw_watchdog_action=pause) avoiding the need to upload a
different
image or in other cases requesting a new flavor.

Is this option being considered?
