HI Simon, No, I didn't try to use CloudMonkey yet, just trying to see how the user data is getting used. I did see the document you sent me already and does look like straight forward think.

Hello David, First I'd transform my script in base64 (cat script.sh | base64) then append that string into cloudmonkey similar to the below example: deploy virtualmachine zoneid=8aadc947-d30e-4414-99f8-f8638df2eaf9 hypervisor=KVM rootdisksize=20 securitygroupids=241cbc66-a41b-476c-9d23-8dcc9489794e serviceofferingid=0d3e701e-a0e9-4f4e-99ac-cc0c479b4f47 startvm=true userdata=IyEvYmluL3NoCmVjaG8gbHVjaWFuID4gL2x1Y2lhbi50eHQK templateid=a1db134c-7211-4d08-9795-324af7982438 keypair=evenstar name=VM4 displayname=VM4 HTH Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Re: User data is not base64 encoded
I had the same problem last week. It turns out that the code is considering anything that ends with "==" as base 64 encoded. That can be a bit picky because sometimes you can encode something in base 64 and not get the "==" at the end, but still you will have to add it to use that functionality.

Re: User data is not base64 encoded
It means: make it safe to be passed in an url. Base64 encoded data can still contain "+", "=" and “/" which may confuse the browser/server. Example: data: "some data" becomes base64 encoded: ZGF0YTogInNvbWUgZGF0YSI= and url encoded: ZGF0YTogInNvbWUgZGF0YSI%3D To play with it, see: https://www.base64encode.org/ http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php Regards, Remi On 28/02/16 15:52, "Nux!" wrote: >Suresh, > >Can you please rephrase that?
