As of bug #1274702 the hv-kvp-daemon-init pre-reqs the correct packages to enable host<->guest communications for instances running on Microsoft Hyper-V. This package is in main, I would like to see it added to the server seed so that trusty installs on hyper-v are enabled without additional work. Daemons will not be run on non-Hypper-V installations, the only impact would be disk usage which is minimal @ ~.5Mb for all dependencies once installed (~40kB on the installation media).
Package description:
The init script starts the user-land daemon for supporting the KVP protocol
on Microsoft Hyper-V instances. The KVP protocol provides key-pair exchanges
between the kernel and the hyper-visor and is used to report instance
demographic details back to Hyper-V.
Installations that are not running atop Hyper-V are unaffected.
hv-kvp-daemon-init pulls in the following requisites:
- linux-cloud-tools-virtual
- linux-cloud-tools-common
- linux-cloud-tools-<ver>-generic
- linux-cloud-tools-<ver>
hv-kvp-daemon-init with it's requisites require 39.3kB of space on the installation media.
