.. _datasource_cloudstack: CloudStack ========== `Apache CloudStack`_ expose user-data, meta-data, user password and account sshkey thru the Virtual-Router. The datasource obtains the VR address via dhcp lease information given to the instance. For more details on meta-data and user-data, refer the `CloudStack Administrator Guide`_. URLs to access user-data and meta-data from the Virtual Machine. Here 10.1.1.1 is the Virtual Router IP: .. code:: bash http://10.1.1.1/latest/user-data http://10.1.1.1/latest/meta-data http://10.1.1.1/latest/meta-data/{metadata type} Configuration ------------- The following configuration can be set for the datasource in system configuration (in `/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg` or `/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/`). The settings that may be configured are: * **max_wait**: the maximum amount of clock time in seconds that should be spent searching metadata_urls. A value less than zero will result in only one request being made, to the first in the list. (default: 120) * **timeout**: the timeout value provided to urlopen for each individual http request. This is used both when selecting a metadata_url and when crawling the metadata service. (default: 50) An example configuration with the default values is provided below: .. sourcecode:: yaml datasource: CloudStack: max_wait: 120 timeout: 50 datasource_list: - CloudStack .. _Apache CloudStack: http://cloudstack.apache.org/ .. _CloudStack Administrator Guide: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/latest/virtual_machines.html#user-data-and-meta-data .. vi: textwidth=78
