Re: Implement aws style user-data

[John Meinel]

I think the actual question is how to create a service that responds to
metadata requests. In that case, it is a bit hard to say from the outside,
because it is very dependent on what software-defined-networking you're
using.

169.254.169.254 is a link-local address, which means it can't be routed
across the network. So you have to have your SDN know where to send your
packets (it effectively looks like the switch is the thing running the
metadata server, because that's the only thing on the other side of a
link-local connection).

I don't have any specific information about how it is done on the various
clouds. Though you could look at openstack which also implements a
metadata-server and is open source code.

Hi Drew,

Juju uses cloud-init currently when provisioning machines today.  We've
recently added a bootstrap configuration option to allow for cloud-init
yaml to
be passed through.

Details can be found in an old bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1535891

I need to get this added to the docs.  There is a known issue using lists
in the yaml file, but strings work fine.
