# VMware Backdoor #
|
|
|
|
coreos-cloudinit is capable of reading userdata and metadata from the VMware
|
|
backdoor. This datasource can be enable with the `--from-vmware-backdoor` flag.
|
|
Userdata and metadata are passed from the hypervisor to the virtual machine
|
|
through guest variables. The following guest variables and their expected types
|
|
are supported by coreos-cloudinit:
|
|
|
|
| guest variable | type |
|
|
|:--------------------------------------|:--------------------------------|
|
|
| `hostname` | `hostname` |
|
|
| `interface.<n>.name` | `string` |
|
|
| `interface.<n>.mac` | `MAC address` |
|
|
| `interface.<n>.dhcp` | `{"yes", "no"}` |
|
|
| `interface.<n>.role` | `{"public", "private"}` |
|
|
| `interface.<n>.ip.<m>.address` | `CIDR IP address` |
|
|
| `interface.<n>.route.<l>.gateway` | `IP address` |
|
|
| `interface.<n>.route.<l>.destination` | `CIDR IP address` |
|
|
| `dns.server.<x>` | `IP address` |
|
|
| `coreos.config.data` | `string` |
|
|
| `coreos.config.data.encoding` | `{"", "base64", "gzip+base64"}` |
|
|
|
|
Note: "n", "m", "l", and "x" are 0-indexed, incrementing integers. The
|
|
identifier for the interfaces does not correspond to anything outside of this
|
|
configuration; it is merely for mapping configuration values to each interface.
