Hi, I will look into both of these for the hub in the coming weeks.

@ITJamie Alma Linux 8.5 template is finished and should be added to the hub in the next day or two. I should have Rocky Linux done shortly after that. Note that in CentOS/RHEL related distros, the hostname: {name}% parameter that's filled in under the cloud-init config is not enough to change the hostname for the machine, CentOS (and related) expects a fully qualified domain name. To get the newly spawned VM have the hostname you'd like, supply fqdn parameter as well:

use VM name as hostname:

#cloud-config
hostname: {name}%
fqdn: {name}%.localdomain.local

use custom hostname:


#cloud-config
hostname: testvm
fqdn: testvm.localdomain.local
