coreos-cloudinit
coreos-cloudinit enables a user to customize CoreOS machines by providing either a cloud-config document or an executable script through user-data.
Configuration with cloud-config
A subset of the official cloud-config spec is implemented by coreos-cloudinit. Additionally, several CoreOS-specific options have been implemented to support interacting with unit files, bootstrapping etcd clusters, and more. All supported cloud-config parameters are documented here.
The following is an example cloud-config document:
#cloud-config
coreos:
units:
- name: etcd.service
command: start
users:
- name: core
passwd: $1$allJZawX$00S5T756I5PGdQga5qhqv1
write_files:
- path: /etc/resolv.conf
content: |
nameserver 192.0.2.2
nameserver 192.0.2.3
Executing a Script
coreos-cloudinit supports executing user-data as a script instead of parsing it as a cloud-config document. Make sure the first line of your user-data is a shebang and coreos-cloudinit will attempt to execute it:
#!/bin/bash
echo 'Hello, world!'
