Some resources that cover the concept, as requested: - User data definition and nova CLI use - http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/content/inserting_userdata.html - Configuring instances at boot time - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/4/html/End_User_Guide/user-data.html - cloud-init example using Horizon post-creation tab and nova CLI - http://blog.mathys.io/2013/07/setting-user-password-when-launching.html - cloud-init config examples - http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/examples.html (note that the docs reference the latest version of cloud-init and some distros will only have older versions available in their base repositories) The concept in question (metadata, cloud-init, configuration management, and potentially orchestration) is covered by OpenStack Heat as well, however this may be overkill depending on what you are attempting to use it for at this time: - http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/content/user-data-boot-scripts-and-cloud-init.html - http://sdake.io/2013/03/03/how-we-use-cloudinit-in-openstack-heat/ Regards, -- Adnan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
