> We should improve our docs for the machine requirements/expectations, for blueprints to behave as expected.
> This became evident when investigating https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-475 (extra stdout when ssh'ing). For example, our docs could say:
> {noformat}
> It is strongly recommended that VMs are configured so that no additional stdout is written 
> when executing remote ssh (or WinRM) commands. Such stdout risks interfering with the
> response parsing in some blueprints.
> For example, if configuring the VM to write out "Last login" information, this should be 
> done for only "interactive" shells (see http://stackoverflow.com/a/415444/1393883 for more 
> details).
> {noformat}
> There are no doubt many other things we could mention, such as:
> * {{/tmp/}} should be writable
> * Sufficient entropy (e.g. see https://brooklyn.apache.org/v/latest/ops/troubleshooting/increase-entropy.html for setting up Brooklyn itself)
> * Outbound network connectivity (but not all blueprints require that)
