2018-08-17Add datasource Oracle Compute Infrastructure (OCI).Scott Moser
This adds a Oracle specific datasource that functions with OCI. It is a simplified version of the OpenStack metadata server with support for vendor-data. It does not support the OCI-C (classic) platform. Also here is a move of BrokenMetadata to common 'sources' as this was the third occurrence of that class.
2018-06-15openstack: avoid unneeded metadata probe on non-openstack platformsChad Smith
OpenStack datasource is now discovered in init-local stage. In order to probe whether OpenStack metadata is present, it performs a costly sandboxed dhclient setup and metadata probe against http://169.254.169.254 for openstack data. Cloud-init properly detects non-OpenStack on EC2, but it spends precious time probing the metadata service also resulting in a confusing WARNING log about 'metadata not present'. To avoid the wasted cycles, and confusing warning, get_data will call a detect_openstack function to quickly determine whether the platform looks like OpenStack before trying to setup network to probe and crawl the metadata service.

Add permitted keys to documentation on seeding NoCloud.
2017-06-06NoCloud: support seed of nocloud from smbios informationVladimir Pouzanov
This allows the user to seed NoCloud in a trivial way from qemu/libvirt, by using a stock image and passing a single command line flag. No custom command line, no filesystem modification, no bootstrap disk image. This is particularly handy now that Ec2 backend is discouraged from use under bug 1660385. LP: #1691772

2017-05-03doc: document network configuration defaults policy and formats.Ryan Harper
Add documentation for cloud-init networking configuration formats, default behavior, policy and other specific details about how network config is consumed and utilized.
2017-03-17doc: fix config drive doc with regard to unpartitioned disks.Scott Moser
The ConfigDrive datasource has read un-partitioned disks for quite a while, but the documentation lagged behind. LP: #1673818

* Fix small typo * Fix ISO-Filename for consistency
2017-01-17doc: add some documentation on OpenStack datasource.Scott Moser
This just fills out some of the documentation on the OpenStack datasource.
2016-11-10doc: make the RST files consistently formated and other improvements.Scott Moser
The biggest things here are: * move doc/sources/*/README.rst to doc/rtd/topics/datasources This gives each datasource a page in the rtd docs, which make it easier to read. * consistently use the same header style throughout. As suggested at http://thomas-cokelaer.info/tutorials/sphinx/rest_syntax.html use: # with overline, for parts * with overline, for chapters =, for sections -, for subsections ^, for subsubsections “, for paragraphs Also, move and re-format vendor-data documentation to rtd.
