Implements one workitem of blueprint apis-for-nova-manage
The agent is talking about guest agent.The host can use this for
things like accessing files on the disk, configuring networking,
or running other applications/scripts in the guest while it is
running. Typically this uses some hypervisor-specific transport
to avoid being dependent on a working network configuration.
Xen, VMware, and VirtualBox have guest agents,although the Xen
driver is the only one with an implementation for managing them
in openstack. KVM doesn't really have a concept of a guest agent
(although one could be written).
You can find the design of agent update in this link:
http://wiki.openstack.org/AgentUpdate
and find the code in nova.virt.xenapi.vmops.VMOps._boot_new_instance.
In this design We need update agent in guest from host, so we need
some interfaces to update the agent info in host.
