Did you tried to get the tenant info from the nova API? -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Bogott [mailto:abogott at wikimedia.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2015 6:46 PM To: openstack at lists.openstack.org Subject: [Openstack] How should an instance learn what tenant it is in? I have many uses cases in which an instance needs to know what project it is in. Right now I accomplish this through an intricate hack which involves hooking instance creation and writing the tenant name to an ldap record. I'm considering rewriting this hack to write the tenant name into the metadata directly, but that will still be a hack. Is there an obvious, implemented solution to this that I'm missing? If not, would a nova patch that adds tenant id and name to the metadata be welcome? Or, are there security reasons for preventing an instance from knowing its tenant? -Andrew _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack at lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
