Open Stack

The drive will contain the user data. Its an alternative to the metadata service and isn't a "normal" drive. Its created, mounted, and populated by Nova.

config_drive: true just tells the instance to mount the drive. You pass data via the user_data property.

Thanks Randall that is what I was thinking.

But I am confused.

When booting an instance with nova boot, I can configure a local file/directory to be mounted as a config drive on the instance upon boot. I can also provide information and commands regularly through the user_data

Through Heat I can provide configuration through user_data. And I can also mount a config_drive.

Where do I define what that config_drive contains?

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Heat] creating a stack with a config_drive

I have been looking for a working example to create Heat stack with a
config_drive attached.

I know it is possible to deploy a nova instance with the CLI [1]

I see that OS::Nova::Server has a config_drive property that is a
Boolean value [2]

What I cannot find is how this can be used. Where is the path defined
for the config file?
Or am I completely missing what and how this should be used?

Anyone with more info on this - I would be highly grateful.

Thanks.
