Configdrive?

Hello,

Anyone around here has some configdrive success stories?
Any gotchas or comments from people who use it?

I'm kind of eager to get rid of the DHCP server and the cloudstack 
metadata provider, but I'd also hate any disruption if the feature is 
not mature.

Regards,
Lucian

Rohit,

I'm aiming to use it in SG zones, can you confirm the feature fully 
replaces the VR served metadata, as in ipv5/6, password, ssh keys and 
user data?

Also, how are passwords handled for Windows VMs? Served in clear text in 
the ISO? Do we need cloudbase-init on the guest side?

I think feature is pretty mature, no issues/bugs reported on it. I know a few large environments using it. For KVM there is a global setting that can help you decide whether you want the config drive isos hosted on the secondary storage (default behaviour) or on the primary storage.
