.. _datasource_ovf:
OVF
===
The OVF Datasource provides a datasource for reading data from
on an `Open Virtualization Format
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Virtualization_Format>`_ ISO
transport.
For further information see a full working example in cloud-init's
source code tree in doc/sources/ovf
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:
* disable_vmware_customization: disable or enable the vmware customization
based on vmware customization files. (default: True)
* allow_raw_data: enable or disable the vmware customization based on raw
cloud-init data including metadata and userdata. (default: True)
* vmware_cust_file_max_wait: the maximum amount of clock time in seconds that
should be spent waiting for vmware customization files. (default: 15)
On VMware platforms, VMTools use is required for OVF datasource configuration
settings as well as vCloud and vSphere admin configuration. User could change
the VMTools configuration options with command::
vmware-toolbox-cmd config set <section> <key> <value>
The following VMTools configuration options affect cloud-init's behavior on a booted VM:
* a: [deploypkg] enable-custom-scripts
If this option is absent in VMTools configuration, the custom script is
disabled by default for security reasons. Some VMware products could
change this default behavior (for example: enabled by default) via
customization specification settings.
VMWare admin can refer to (https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/main/cloudinit/sources/helpers/vmware/imc/config.py) and set the customization specification settings.
For more information, see `VMware vSphere Product Documentation <https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-9A5093A5-C54F-4502-941B-3F9C0F573A39.html>`_ and specific VMTools parameters consumed.
