This branch does a few things:
- Add 'schema' subcommand to cloud-init CLI for validating
cloud-config files against strict module jsonschema definitions
- Add --annotate parameter to 'cloud-init schema' to annotate
existing cloud-config file content with validation errors
- Add jsonschema definition to cc_runcmd
- Add unit test coverage for cc_runcmd
- Update CLI capabilities documentation
This branch only imports development (and analyze) subparsers when the
specific subcommand is provided on the CLI to avoid adding costly unused
file imports during cloud-init system boot.
The schema command allows a person to quickly validate a cloud-config text
file against cloud-init's known module schemas to avoid costly roundtrips
deploying instances in their cloud of choice. As of this branch, only
cc_ntp and cc_runcmd cloud-config modules define schemas. Schema
validation will ignore all undefined config keys until all modules define
a strict schema.
To perform validation of runcmd and ntp sections of a cloud-config file:
$ cat > cloud.cfg <<EOF
runcmd: bogus
EOF
$ python -m cloudinit.cmd.main schema --config-file cloud.cfg
$ python -m cloudinit.cmd.main schema --config-file cloud.cfg \
--annotate
Once jsonschema is defined for all ~55 cc modules, we will move this
schema subcommand up as a proper subcommand of the cloud-init CLI.
