For this you’re going to use qemu-guest-agent

To install the qemu-guest-agent on a virtual server, you will need to connect to the virtual server using a remote access tool, such as Secure Shell (SSH) or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Once you have connected to the virtual server, you can follow these steps to install the qemu-guest-agent:

• Update the package manager on the virtual server to ensure that you have access to the latest packages:

sudo apt-get update

• Install the qemu-guest-agent package using the apt-get command:

sudo apt-get install qemu-guest-agent

• Once the installation is complete, use the systemctl command to start the qemu-guest-agent service:

sudo systemctl start qemu-guest-agent

After you have completed these steps, the qemu-guest-agent should be installed and running on your virtual server. You can use the systemctl status qemu-guest-agent command to view the current status of the service and verify that it is running correctly.
