.. _datasource_gce:
Google Compute Engine
=====================
The GCE datasource gets its data from the internal compute metadata server.
Metadata can be queried at the URL
'``http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/``'
from within an instance. For more information see the `GCE metadata docs`_.
Currently the default project and instance level metadatakeys keys
``project/attributes/sshKeys`` and ``instance/attributes/ssh-keys`` are merged
to provide ``public-keys``.
``user-data`` and ``user-data-encoding`` can be provided to cloud-init by
setting those custom metadata keys for an *instance*.
Configuration
-------------
The following configuration can be set for the datasource in system
configuration (in `/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg` or `/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/`).
The settings that may be configured are:
* **retries**: The number of retries that should be done for an http request.
This value is used only after metadata_url is selected. (default: 5)
* **sec_between_retries**: The amount of wait time between the retries when
crawling the metadata service. (default: 1)
An example configuration with the default values is provided below:
.. sourcecode:: yaml
datasource:
GCE:
retries: 5
sec_between_retries: 1
