Hi there,
1. When an instance is booted from a Heat stack, the user for whom the
ssh public key is injected is, by default, 'ec2-user'. Even if there is
a cloud-wide setting (instance_user in /etc/heat/heat.conf) that allows
to change this, it isn't a good solution, as all stack deployments will
then use that specific value (although various cloud images may require
various users). I would expect here that Heat runs its operations *on
behalf of the default user defined in the cloud-init configuration of
the instance*. I would be glad if there was a way to configure Heat that
way. Any idea??
2. However, it seems there'd be a workaround using the "admin_user"
property in the HOT file (documented here:
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/openstack.html#OS::Nova::Server-props).
Unfortunately, this parameter is not recognized by heat-api. Here's the
error:
2014-03-24 16:32:23.940 1128 DEBUG root [-] JSON response :
