The 'ConfigDrive' DataSource supports the OpenStack configdrive disk.
|
||||
See doc/source/api_ext/ext_config_drive.rst in the nova source code for
|
||||
more information on config drive.
|
||||
|
||||
The following criteria are required to be identified by
|
||||
DataSourceConfigDrive as a config drive:
|
||||
* must be formated with vfat filesystem
|
||||
* must be a un-partitioned block device (/dev/vdb, not /dev/vdb1)
|
||||
* must contain one of the following files:
|
||||
* etc/network/interfaces
|
||||
* root/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
||||
* meta.js
|
||||
|
||||
By default, cloud-init does not consider this source to be a full-fledged
|
||||
datasource. Instead, the default behavior is to assume it is really only
|
||||
present to provide networking information. Cloud-init will copy off the
|
||||
network information, apply it to the system, and then continue on. The
|
||||
"full" datasource would then be found in the EC2 metadata service.
|
||||
|
||||
== Content of config-drive ==
|
||||
* etc/network/interfaces
|
||||
This file is laid down by nova in order to pass static networking
|
||||
information to the guest. Cloud-init will copy it off of the config-drive
|
||||
and into /etc/network/interfaces as soon as it can, and then attempt to
|
||||
bring up all network interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
* root/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
||||
This file is laid down by nova, and contains the keys that were
|
||||
provided to it on instance creation (nova-boot --key ....)
|
||||
|
||||
Cloud-init will copy those keys and put them into the configured user
|
||||
('ubuntu') .ssh/authorized_keys.
|
||||
|
||||
* meta.js
|
||||
meta.js is populated on the config-drive in response to the user passing
|
||||
"meta flags" (nova boot --meta key=value ...). It is expected to be json
|
||||
formated.
|
||||
|
||||
== Configuration ==
|
||||
Cloud-init's behavior can be modified by keys found in the meta.js file in
|
||||
the following ways:
|
||||
* dsmode:
|
||||
values: local, net, pass
|
||||
default: pass
|
||||
|
||||
This is what indicates if configdrive is a final data source or not.
|
||||
By default it is 'pass', meaning this datasource should not be read.
|
||||
Set it to 'local' or 'net' to stop cloud-init from continuing on to
|
||||
search for other data sources after network config.
|
||||
|
||||
The difference between 'local' and 'net' is that local will not require
|
||||
networking to be up before user-data actions (or boothooks) are run.
|
||||
|
||||
* instance-id:
|
||||
default: iid-dsconfigdrive
|
||||
This is utilized as the metadata's instance-id. It should generally
|
||||
be unique, as it is what is used to determine "is this a new instance".
|
||||
|
||||
* public-keys:
|
||||
default: None
|
||||
if present, these keys will be used as the public keys for the
|
||||
instance. This value overrides the content in authorized_keys.
|
||||
Note: it is likely preferable to provide keys via user-data
|
||||
|
||||
* user-data:
|
||||
default: None
|
||||
This provides cloud-init user-data. See other documentation for what
|
||||
all can be present here.
