This directory is an example of a 'seed' directory.
copying these files inside an instance's
/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud
or
/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net
will cause the 'DataSourceNoCloud' and 'DataSourceNoCloudNet' modules
to enable and read the given data.
The directory must have both files.
- user-data:
This is the user data, as would be consumed from ec2's metadata service
see examples in doc/examples.
- meta-data:
This file is yaml formatted data similar to what is in the ec2 metadata
service under meta-data/. See the example, or, on an ec2 instance,
run:
python -c 'import boto.utils, yaml; print(
yaml.dump(boto.utils.get_instance_metadata()))'
