This PR introduces the initial implementation of Veeam integration support for KVM in CloudStack by adding a UHAPI-compatible server and image server components.
Veeam Backup & Replication interacts with virtualization platforms using its Universal Hypervisor API (UHAPI). To enable backup and restore workflows for CloudStack-managed KVM environments, this change introduces a UHAPI server that exposes CloudStack resources through a UHAPI-compatible interface.
In addition to the control plane APIs, an image server component is introduced to handle the data transfer operations required during backup and restore workflows.
The integration consists of two main components:
1. UHAPI Server (Control Plane) named CloudStack Veeam Control Service
A lightweight UHAPI server runs inside the CloudStack management server and exposes endpoints under:
/ovirt-engine
- /api - For APIs
- /sso - For authentication
- /services/pki-resource - For certificates
This server provides inventory discovery APIs required by Veeam and translates CloudStack resources into the structures expected by UHAPI.
The server:
- exposes infrastructure inventory
- handles authentication and session tokens
- maps CloudStack resources to UHAPI-compatible representations
2. Image Server (Data Plane) named CloudStack Image Service
A separate image server component is introduced to handle backup and restore data transfer operations.
This component:
- serves disk image data during backup
- receives image data during restore operations
- exposes endpoints used by Veeam worker components
- integrates with CloudStack storage to read and write VM disk data
The separation between both these components server ensures that:
- metadata APIs and control operations remain lightweight
- bulk image transfer operations are handled independently

This PR adds support for specifying user data (cloud-init) for system VMs via Zone Scoped global settings. This allows the operators to customize the System VMs and setup monitoring, logging or execute any custom commands.
We set the user data from the global setting in /var/cache/cloud/cmdline, and use the NoCloud datasource to process user data. cloud-init service is still disabled in the system VMs and it's executed as part of the cloud-postinit service which executes the postinit.sh script.
Added global settings:
systemvm.userdata.enabled - Disabled by default. Needs to be enabled to utilize the feature.
console.proxy.vm.userdata - UUID of the User data to be used for Console Proxy
secstorage.vm.userdata - UUID of the User data to be used for Secondary Storage VM
virtual.router.userdata - UUID of the User data to be used for Virtual Routers
Fixes case of appending userdata when both template and vm data are either shellscript or cloudconfig
Fixes error when appending gzip userdata
Fixes case when userdata manual text from VM is not getting decoded-encoded correctly.
Fixes case of appending multipart data when both template and vm data contain same format types.
Refactor - moved validateUserData method to UserDataManager class
Refactor userdata test to check resultant multipart userdata thoroughly
