+
+UpCloud
+=============
+
+The `UpCloud`_ datasource consumes information from UpCloud's `metadata
+service`_. This metadata service serves information about the
+running server via HTTP over the address 169.254.169.254 available in every
+DHCP-configured interface. The metadata API endpoints are fully described in
+UpCloud API documentation at
+`https://developers.upcloud.com/1.3/8-servers/#metadata-service
+<https://developers.upcloud.com/1.3/8-servers/#metadata-service>`_.
+
+Providing user-data
+-------------------
+
+When creating a server, user-data is provided by specifying it as `user_data`
+in the API or via the server creation tool in the control panel. User-data is
+immutable during server's lifetime and can be removed by deleting the server.
