> libcloud openstack's driver supports parameter "user-data" (namely
> ex_userdata) for providing user data to the instance. This is the equivalent
> to "nova boot --user-data" parameter.
> With Openstack nova command, this results in providing the content of the
> pointed file. You may for instance provide a shell script, a configuration
> file for cloud-init...
> Once the VM startups, cloud-init retrieves the file from the metadata server
> and uses it (executes it for shell scripts for instance).
> The libcloud behaviour is different: it simply passes the parameter content
> as is.
