In some circumstances (e.g. nova-agent-watcher) cloudconfig files will be created where the EtcdEnvironment is an empty map, and hence != nil. If this is the case we should not do anything at all (because the user hasn't explicitly asked us to configure etcd). This change standardises behaviour with the check that we already do for FleetEnvironment.
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
