Technology preview: Customizing instances using the OpenStack metadata service
Matrix 7.2 Update 1 KVM Private Cloud includes a technology preview of instance of customization
using the OpenStack metadata service. The technology preview allows early access use in
non-production configurations. Future releases will contain full support.
Customizing an instance includes adding a hostname, instance type, public IP address, SSH keys,
and custom user data to an instance. User-written scripts that add this information to an instance
are embedded in an operating system image before an instance is deployed. These scripts are
not standard in any OS images.
With this technology preview, you can write customized scripts that call the OpenStack metadata
service. This service is available to users of any OS image. For Ubuntu images, you can optionally
use cloud-init to handle early initialization of a cloud instance. Cloud-init is a client of the OpenStack
metadata service. A cloud-init RPM package is available for RedHat and Fedora from the
FedoraProject.org EPEL repository at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.
For more information about the OpenStack metadata service, refer to http://docs.openstack.org/
essex/openstack-compute/admin/content/metadata-service.html and http://docs.openstack.org/
admin-guide-cloud/content/section_metadata-service.html. For more information about cloud-init,
