In a Packer build process for OpenStack, which 'post-processor' type is typically used to upload the resulting image to the Glance image service?

When using Vagrant to manage a libvirt-based provider, which command verifies that the virtual machine is currently running and identifies the provider in use?

You are configuring cloud-init to inject an SSH key into a new VM. Which directive in the configuration metadata ensures the key is added to the correct user's authorized_keys file?

Which file in a Vagrant project directory is processed by default to define the virtual environment configuration?

You are using Packer to build a custom image for KVM. Which HCL2 block is specifically required to define the virtualization parameters like memory and CPU for the builder?
