Currently systemd cannot track dependencies on configdrive very well because it is mounted via a service instead of a mount unit. Also since the interaction between path and mount units can lead to unexpected behavior if something goes wrong the cloudinit service is now triggered explicitly by the mount again. The configdrive path unit remains only as a fall back for containers where the mount unit doesn't kick in. Better to have two mechanisms that trigger the cloudinit service than none. :) Since mounting a virtfs based configdrive requires different mount options and two different mount units cannot refer to the same path the virtfs version now mounts to /media/configvirtfs. There are also two new kernel options: - `coreos.configdrive=1`: enable config drive on physical hardware. - `coreos.configdrive=0`: disable config drive on virtual machines.
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!'
user-data Field Substitution
coreos-cloudinit will replace the following set of tokens in your user-data with system-generated values.
| Token | Description |
|---|---|
| $public_ipv4 | Public IPv4 address of machine |
| $private_ipv4 | Private IPv4 address of machine |
These values are determined by CoreOS based on the given provider on which your machine is running. Read more about provider-specific functionality in the CoreOS OEM documentation.
For example, submitting the following user-data...
#cloud-config
coreos:
etcd:
addr: $public_ipv4:4001
peer-addr: $private_ipv4:7001
...will result in this cloud-config document being executed:
#cloud-config
coreos:
etcd:
addr: 203.0.113.29:4001
peer-addr: 192.0.2.13:7001
