<BR>
That might blow it out of the water to start, as I know a lot of people want the EC2 equivalents/compat.<BR>
<BR>
But maybe if done right it shouldn’t matter (ie cloud-init could instead of calling out to urls could also call out to “local files” on a config drive).<BR>
<BR>
I just worry that config drive is openstack api only, afaik.<BR>

Config drive + the init script I've contributed is rock-solid for me. No metadata service to go slow or need special configuration, no DHCP problems etc.<BR>
<BR>
If there's a proliferation of options, we should identify the important use cases and make sure that we have a good approach for each of them. Config drive is very under-utilized, in my opinion.<BR>

I was looking at this area earlier in terms of how the system works out what partition to inject keys/files/etc into, which feels like it should be specified by image metadata but currently defaults to partition 1.<BR>
<BR>
Made me wonder if we really need so many different ways for instances to get their metadata ?<BR>
