==================
SmartOS Datasource
==================
This datasource finds metadata and user-data from the SmartOS virtualization
platform (i.e. Joyent).
SmartOS Platform
----------------
The SmartOS virtualization platform meta-data to the instance via the second
serial console. On Linux, this is /dev/ttyS1. The data is a provided via a
simple protocol, where something queries for the userdata, where the console
responds with the status and if "SUCCESS" returns until a single ".\n".
New versions of the SmartOS tooling will include support for base64 encoded data.
Userdata
--------
In SmartOS parlance, user-data is a actually meta-data. This userdata can be
provided a key-value pairs.
Cloud-init supports reading the traditional meta-data fields supported by the
SmartOS tools. These are:
* root_authorized_keys
* hostname
* enable_motd_sys_info
* iptables_disable
Note: At this time iptables_disable and enable_motd_sys_info are read but
are not actioned.
user-script
-----------
SmartOS traditionally supports sending over a user-script for execution at the
rc.local level. Cloud-init supports running user-scripts as if they were
cloud-init user-data. In this sense, anything with a shell interpreter
directive will run
user-data and user-script
-------------------------
In the event that a user defines the meta-data key of "user-data" it will
always supercede any user-script data. This is for consistency.
base64
------
The following are exempt from base64 encoding, owing to the fact that they
are provided by SmartOS:
* root_authorized_keys
* enable_motd_sys_info
* iptables_disable
This list can be changed through system config of variable 'no_base64_decode'.
This means that user-script and user-data as well as other values can be
base64 encoded. Since Cloud-init can only guess as to whether or not something
is truly base64 encoded, the following meta-data keys are hints as to whether
or not to base64 decode something:
* base64_all: Except for excluded keys, attempt to base64 decode
the values. If the value fails to decode properly, it will be
returned in its text
* base64_keys: A comma deliminated list of which keys are base64 encoded.
* b64-<key>:
for any key, if there exists an entry in the metadata for 'b64-<key>'
Then 'b64-<key>' is expected to be a plaintext boolean indicating whether
or not its value is encoded.
* no_base64_decode: This is a configuration setting
(i.e. /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d) that sets which values should not be
base64 decoded.
