How to change root password of cloud image
There are ways to manipulate cloud images. I'm going to prefer libguestfs to change root password.
Install libguestfs and tools:
yum install guestfs-tools
yum install libguestfs libguestfs-appliance libguestfs-xfs
Change root password, mymagicpass is clean password, mydisk.img is primary disk image:
LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct virt-customize --root-password password:mymagicpass -a mydisk.img
