try on your machine

This command is using the "virt-sysprep" tool to perform system preparation operations on a virtual machine (VM).

Here's the breakdown of the command:

"virt-sysprep" is a command-line tool used for preparing a virtual machine or disk image for cloning or customization. It is commonly used in virtualization environments.
"--domain ${vm_name}" specifies the name of the virtual machine (domain) on which the sysprep operations will be performed. "${vm_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the VM.
"--operations ${operation1,operation2,---}" lists the specific operations to be executed during the sysprep process. "${operation1,operation2,---}" is another placeholder where you should provide the desired operations, separated by commas. These operations can include options like "preparation," "filesystems," "networking," "appliance," "ssh-hostkeys," "yum-cache," and more.

By combining the tool, the target virtual machine's name, and the desired sysprep operations, this command enables you to customize and prepare a virtual machine or disk image according to your requirements.
