Hi, Did you stop start the vm after updating the Userdata (after step 4). API doc says we need to stop start the vm to take effect. http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.2/root_admin/updateVirtualMachine.html Even after stop and start if same behavior exists then this is an issue.

Create SSH keypair "keypairname" through the REST API. 2. Deploy VM with the created keypair from step 1. 3. On the VM, the url "http://<dhcpserverip>/latest/public-keys" returns the public key. 4. Update the running VM with userdata. 5. On the VM, the url "http://<dhcpserverip>/latest/public-keys" returns nothing and the user data url "http://<dhcpserverip>/latest/user-data" returns the user-data which was set in step 4. Result: User data is set but public key is gone (cleaned). When I update user data on a stopped VM, both SSH public key and user data are available. Is this behavior expected or is this some kind of an issue ? -- Best regards, Stanislav Petrov
