[dev] [jira] [Created] (LIBCLOUD-356) Provide user-data for Openstack driver

Mattieu Puel created LIBCLOUD-356:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Provide user-data for Openstack driver
                 Key: LIBCLOUD-356
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-356
             Project: Libcloud
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Compute
    Affects Versions: 0.12.3
         Environment: Libcloud 0.13.0 against Openstack
            Reporter: Mattieu Puel
             Fix For: 0.12.3


libcloud openstack's driver supports parameter "user-data" (namely ex_userdata) for providing user data to the instance. This is the equivalent to "nova boot --user-data" parameter.

With Openstack nova command, this results in providing the content of the pointed file. You may for instance provide a shell script, a configuration file for cloud-init...

Once the VM startups, cloud-init retrieves the file from the metadata server and uses it (executes it for shell scripts for instance).

The libcloud behaviour is different: it simply passes the parameter content as is.
