Instead, the default behavior is to assume it is really only -present to provide networking information. Cloud-init will copy off the -network information, apply it to the system, and then continue on. The -"full" datasource would then be found in the EC2 metadata service. - -== Content of config-drive == - * etc/network/interfaces - This file is laid down by nova in order to pass static networking - information to the guest. Cloud-init will copy it off of the config-drive - and into /etc/network/interfaces as soon as it can, and then attempt to - bring up all network interfaces. - - * root/.ssh/authorized_keys - This file is laid down by nova, and contains the keys that were - provided to it on instance creation (nova-boot --key ....) - - Cloud-init will copy those keys and put them into the configured user - ('ubuntu') .ssh/authorized_keys. - - * meta.js - meta.js is populated on the config-drive in response to the user passing - "meta flags" (nova boot --meta key=value ...). It is expected to be json - formated. - -== Configuration == -Cloud-init's behavior can be modified by keys found in the meta.js file in -the following ways: - * dsmode: - values: local, net, pass - default: pass - - This is what indicates if configdrive is a final data source or not. - By default it is 'pass', meaning this datasource should not be read. - Set it to 'local' or 'net' to stop cloud-init from continuing on to - search for other data sources after network config. - - The difference between 'local' and 'net' is that local will not require - networking to be up before user-data actions (or boothooks) are run. - - * instance-id: - default: iid-dsconfigdrive - This is utilized as the metadata's instance-id. It should generally - be unique, as it is what is used to determine "is this a new instance". - - * public-keys: - default: None - if present, these keys will be used as the public keys for the - instance. This value overrides the content in authorized_keys. - Note: it is likely preferable to provide keys via user-data - - * user-data: - default: None - This provides cloud-init user-data. See other documentation for what - all can be present here. - -== Example == -Here is an example using the nova client (python-novaclien) - -Assuming the following variables set up: - * img_id : set to the nova image id (uuid from image-list) - * flav_id : set to numeric flavor_id (nova flavor-list) - * keyname : set to name of key for this instance (nova keypair-list) - -$ cat my-user-data -#!/bin/sh -echo ==== USER_DATA FROM EC2 MD ==== | tee /ud.log - -$ ud_value=$(sed 's,EC2 MD,META KEY,') - -## Now, 'ud_value' has same content of my-user-data file, but -## with the string "USER_DATA FROM META KEY" - -## launch an instance with dsmode=pass -## This will really not use the configdrive for anything as the mode -## for the datasource is 'pass', meaning it will still expect some -## other data source (DataSourceEc2). - -$ nova boot --image=$img_id --config-drive=1 --flavor=$flav_id \ - --key_name=$keyname \ - --user_data=my-user-data \ - "--meta=instance-id=iid-001 \ - "--meta=user-data=${ud_keyval}" \ - "--meta=dsmode=pass" cfgdrive-dsmode-pass - -$ euca-get-console-output i-0000001 | grep USER_DATA -echo ==== USER_DATA FROM EC2 MD ==== | tee /ud.log - -## Now, launch an instance with dsmode=local -## This time, the only metadata and userdata available to cloud-init -## are on the config-drive -$ nova boot --image=$img_id --config-drive=1 --flavor=$flav_id \ - --key_name=$keyname \ - --user_data=my-user-data \ - "--meta=instance-id=iid-001 \ - "--meta=user-data=${ud_keyval}" \ - "--meta=dsmode=local" cfgdrive-dsmode-local - -$ euca-get-console-output i-0000002 | grep USER_DATA -echo ==== USER_DATA FROM META KEY ==== | tee /ud.log - --- -[1] https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/doc/source/api_ext/ext_config_drive.rst for more if - - |
