+The 'OpenNebula' DataSource supports the OpenNebula contextualization disk.
+
+The following criteria are required to be identified by
+DataSourceOpenNebula as contextualization disk:
+  * must be formatted with iso9660 filesystem or labeled as CDROM
+  * must be un-partitioned block device (/dev/vdb, not /dev/vdb1)
+  * must contain
+     * context.sh
+
+== Content of config-drive ==
+  * context.sh
+    This is the only mandatory file on context disk, the rest content depends
+    on contextualization parameter FILES and thus is optional. It's
+    a shell script defining all context parameters. This script is
+    processed by bash (/bin/bash) to simulate behaviour of common
+    OpenNebula context scripts. Processed variables are handed over
+    back to cloud-init for further processing.
+
+== Configuration ==
+Cloud-init's behaviour can be modified by context variables found
+in the context.sh file in the folowing ways (variable names are
+case-insensitive):
+  * dsmode:
+    values: local, net, disabled
+    default: None
+
+    Tells if this datasource will be processed in local (pre-networking) or
+    net (post-networking) stage or even completely disabled.
+
+  * ssh_key:
+    default: None
+    If present, these key(s) will be used as the public key(s) for
+    the instance. More keys can be specified in this single context
+    variable, but each key must be on it's own line. I.e. keys must
+    be separated by newlines.
+
+  * hostname:
+    default: None
+    Custom hostname for the instance.
+
+  * public_ip:
+    default: None
+    If hostname not specified, public_ip is used to DNS resolve hostname.
+
+  * 'user_data' or 'userdata':
+    default: None
+    This provides cloud-init user-data. See other documentation for what
+    all can be present here.
