Open Stack

My issue is that I need to be able to get information on the tenant name which requires me to have access to the api since it is not exposed with meta-data and in order to login to the api I need the RC file which includes the tenant name, bit of a chicken and an egg problem.


Putting the RC file in Git or something is not wise and this is a part of an automation project and is supposed to be reusable for all OS projects where I need to uniquely name resources based on which project/tenant it is run in.


I know that Juno has the project_id meta-data but we are still on kilo

Efni: Re: [Openstack] OpenStack RC file from within heat

Davio,

yes, you could do that, but for local files only from CLI, not Horizon. You could use a "str_replace" and "get_file" functions.

As an example, here https://github.com/pshchelo/stackdev/blob/master/templates/autoscaling/asg.yaml#L33-L45
I am dropping a local file through the Nova's user data to the VM.

Though I must stress that passing real user cloud credentials inside VM is a security risk, VMs by default should be better considered as vulnerable.

Best regards,

?Is it possible to gain access to OpenStack RC file from within a heat template, in order to place it on a host during cloud init?
