Note that this already existed before, by unchecking [x] Immediately start VM
but now it's more obvious and symmetric indeed.
I just made a short test with f35 and tried to install a CentOS 9-stream cloud image.
Unfortunately, you still can’t delay the startup with a cloud image. The button is greyed
out and not active.
Additionally I missed the option to use cloud-init to set an initial password for root. So
I have a nice cloud image running, but can’t log in. Is there now another way to get
access to a VM generated by cloud image?
And I couldn’t normally shutdown that machine, but had to use forced shutdown.
The delay works fine with import now, where is was not available in the previous version.
That’s a big improvement.
And when I did a rpm -U cockpit* (for a local update), I got a strange selinux message,
but that obviously didn’t any harm. Unfortunately, I didn't made a note. Just in case
you want to investigate that further I would have to try to reproduce it.
I will complete my meanwhile cockpit standard test procedure with the new version. If I
discover any further ambiguities, or have any questions, I would be happy to get back to
you. But can take 1-2 days.

Yes! This was a much bigger Yak shave than I anticipated, but it got in at
last:

Yes, I got no issues there.
