The open source `project <https://github.com/stackforge/cloudbase-init>`_
|
|
**cloudbase-init** is a service conceived and
|
|
maintained by Cloudbase Solutions Srl, currently working on NT systems.
|
|
It was designed to initialize and configure guest operating systems under
|
|
`OpenStack <https://www.openstack.org/>`_,
|
|
`OpenNebula <http://opennebula.org/>`_,
|
|
`CloudStack <https://cloudstack.apache.org/>`_,

|
|
Under `Cloudbase <http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-init-windows/>`_ page,
|
|
beta and stable installers can be found and the service itself is very easy to
|
|
configure through configuration files. It can also customize instances based
|
|
on user input like local scripts and data.
