Metadata services
-----------------
Got a question?
---------------
A metadata service has the role of pulling the metadata configuration
information.
Supported clouds and metadata services:
* OpenStack (HTTP)
* OpenStack (ConfigDrive)
* Amazon EC2
* CloudStack
* OpenNebula
* Ubuntu MAAS
Plugins
-------
Plugins execute actions based on the metadata obtained by the service.
cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.sethostname.SetHostNamePlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sets the instance's hostname.
cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.createuser.CreateUserPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Creates a local cloud user (if it does not already exist) and adds it to a set
of provided local groups.
The following configuration parameters control the behaviour of this
plugin.
+------------+--------------------------------+------------------+
| Option | Description | Default |
+============+================================+==================+
| *username* | Name of the cloud user | *Admin* |
+------------+--------------------------------+------------------+
| *groups* | Comma separated list of groups | *Administrators* |
+------------+--------------------------------+------------------+
cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.setuserpassword.SetUserPasswordPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sets the cloud user's password. If a password has been provided in the
metadata during boot (user_data) it will be used, otherwise a random password
will be generated, encrypted with the user's SSH public key and posted to the
metadata provider (currently supported only by the OpenStack HTTP metadata
provider).
+-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
| Option | Description | Default |
+=========================+=====================================================================================+===========================+
| *inject_user_password* | Can be set to false to avoid the injection of the password provided in the metadata | *True* |
+-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
| | Can control what happens with the password at the next logon. If this option | |
| | is set to `always`, the user will be forced to change the password at the next | |
| *first_logon_behaviour* | logon. If it is set to `clear_text_injected_only`, the user will be forced to | *clear_text_injected_only*|
| | change the password only if the password is a clear text password, coming from the | |
| | metadata. The last option is `no`, when the user is never forced. | |
+-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.networkconfig.NetworkConfigPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Configures static networking.
+-------------------+------------------------------+---------+
| Option | Description | Default |
+===================+==============================+=========+
| *network_adapter* | Network adapter to configure | *None* |
+-------------------+------------------------------+---------+
If *network_adapter* is not specified, the first available ethernet
adapter will be chosen if it cannot be matched with the configuration provided
in the metadata.
cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.sshpublickeys.SetUserSSHPublicKeysPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Creates an "authorized_keys" file in the user's home directory containing the
SSH keys provided in the metadata.
It is needed by the
*cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.setuserpassword.SetUserPasswordPlugin* plugin.
cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.extendvolumes.ExtendVolumesPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Extends automatically a disk partition to it's maximum size. This is useful
when booting images with different flavors.
cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.winrmlistener.ConfigWinRMListenerPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Configures a WinRM HTTPS listener to allow remote management via WinRS or
PowerShell.
cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.winrmcertificateauth.ConfigWinRMCertificateAuthPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Enables password-less authentication for remote management via WinRS or
PowerShell.
See: http://www.cloudbase.it/windows-without-passwords-in-openstack/
cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.localscripts.LocalScriptsPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Executes any script (e.g. Powershell, CMD, etc) located in the following path.
+----------------------+--------------------+---------+
| Option | Description | Default |
+======================+====================+=========+
| *local_scripts_path* | Local scripts path | *None* |
+----------------------+--------------------+---------+
cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.licensing.WindowsLicensingPlugin

cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.ntpclient.NTPClientPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Applies NTP client info based on the DHCP server options, if available.
+-----------------------+-------------------+---------+
| Option | Description | Default |
+=======================+===================+=========+
| *ntp_use_dhcp_config* | Set NTP from DHCP | *False* |
+-----------------------+-------------------+---------+
cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.mtu.MTUPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sets the network interfaces MTU based on the value provided by the DHCP server
options, if available.
This is particularly useful for cases in which a lower MTU value is required
for networking (e.g. OpenStack GRE Neutron Open vSwitch configurations).
+-----------------------+-------------------+---------+
| Option | Description | Default |
+=======================+===================+=========+
| *mtu_use_dhcp_config* | Set MTU from DHCP | *True* |
+-----------------------+-------------------+---------+
cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.userdata.UserDataPlugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Executes custom scripts provided with the user_data metadata as plain text or
compressed with Gzip.
Supported formats:
Windows batch

@ -1040,43 +1040,7 @@ class WindowsUtils(base.BaseOSUtils):
C:\Windows\(System32|SysWOW64|Sysnative).
Note that "Sysnative" is just an alias (doesn't really exist on disk).
On 32bit OSes, the return value will be the System32 directory,
which contains 32bit programs.
On 64bit OSes, the return value may be different, depending on the
Python bits and the `sysnative` parameter. If the Python interpreter is
32bit, the return value will be System32 (containing 32bit
programs) if `sysnative` is set to False and Sysnative otherwise. But
if the Python interpreter is 64bit and `sysnative` is False, the return
value will be SysWOW64 and System32 for a True value of `sysnative`.
Why this behavior and what is the purpose of `sysnative` parameter?
On a 32bit OS the things are clear, there is one System32 directory
containing 32bit applications and that's all. On a 64bit OS, there's a
System32 directory containing 64bit applications and a compatibility
one named SysWOW64 (WindowsOnWindows) containing the 32bit version of
them. Depending on the Python interpreter's bits, the `sysnative` flag
will try to bring the appropriate version of the system directory, more
exactly, the physical System32 or SysWOW64 found on disk. On a WOW case
(32bit interpreter on 64bit OS), a return value of System32 will point
to the physical SysWOW64 directory and a return value of Sysnative,
which is consolidated by the existence of this alias, will point to the
real physical System32 directory found on disk. If the OS is still
64bit and there is no WOW case (that means the interpreter is 64bit),
the system native concept is out of discussion and each return value
will point to the physical location it intends to.
On a 32bit OS the `sysnative` parameter has no meaning, but on a 64bit
one, based on its value, it will provide a real/alias path pointing to
system native applications if set to True (64bit programs) and to
system compatibility applications if set to False (32bit programs). Its
purpose is to provide the correct system paths by taking into account
the Python interpreter bits too, because on a 32bit interpreter
version, System32 is not the same with the System32 on a 64bit
interpreter. Also, using a 64bit interpreter, the Sysnative alias will
not work, but the `sysnative` parameter will take care to return
SysWOW64 if you explicitly want 32bit applications, by setting it to
False.
More info about this can be found in documentation.

Intro
=====
The open source `project <https://github.com/stackforge/cloudbase-init>`_
**cloudbase-init** is a service conceived and
maintained by Cloudbase Solutions Srl, currently working on NT systems.
It was designed to initialize and configure guest operating systems under
`OpenStack <https://www.openstack.org/>`_,
`OpenNebula <http://opennebula.org/>`_,
`CloudStack <https://cloudstack.apache.org/>`_,
`MaaS <https://maas.ubuntu.com/>`_ and many others.
Under `Cloudbase <http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-init-windows/>`_ page,
beta and stable installers can be found and the service itself is very easy to
configure through configuration files. It can also customize instances based
on user input like local scripts and data.
More details on how you can use this can be found under :ref:`tutorial`.
Portable cloud initialization service
-------------------------------------
The main goal of this project is to provide guest cloud initialization for
*Windows* and other operating systems.
The architecture of the project is highly flexible and allows extensions for
additional clouds and plugins.
There's no limitation in the type of supported hypervisors. This service can be
used on instances running on Hyper-V, KVM, Xen, ESXi etc.
.. _download:
Binaries
--------
The following x64 and x86 builds are automatically generated by a Jenkins
job at every commit:
* https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/CloudbaseInitSetup_x64.msi
* https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/CloudbaseInitSetup_x86.msi

.. _plugins:
Plugins
=======
Plugins execute actions based on the metadata obtained by the loaded service.
They are intended to actually configure your instance using data provided by
the cloud and even by the user.
Current list of supported plugins:
Setting host name
-----------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.sethostname.SetHostNamePlugin
Sets the instance's hostname. It may be truncated to 15 characters for Netbios
compatibility reasons using the option below.
Config options:
* netbios_host_name_compatibility (bool: True)
.. warning:: This may require a system restart.
Creating user
-------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.createuser.CreateUserPlugin
Creates (or updates if existing) a new user and adds it to a
set of provided local groups. By default, it creates the user "Admin" under
"Administrators" group, but this can be changed under configuration file.
Config options:
* username (string: "Admin")
* groups (list of strings: ["Administrators"])
Setting password
----------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.setuserpassword.SetUserPasswordPlugin
Sets the cloud user's password. If a password has been provided in the metadata
during boot it will be used, otherwise a random password will be generated,
encrypted with the user's SSH public key and posted to the metadata provider
(currently supported only by the OpenStack HTTP metadata provider).
An option called `inject_user_password` is set *True* by default to make
available the use of metadata password which is found under the "admin_pass"
field or through an URL request. If the option is set to *False* or if the
password isn't found in metadata, then an attempt of using an already set
password is done (usually a random value by the `createuser` plugin).
With `first_logon_behaviour` you can control what happens with the password at
the next logon. If this option is set to "always", the user will be forced to
change the password at the next logon. If it is set to "clear_text_injected_only",
the user will be forced to change the password only if the password is a
clear text password, coming from the metadata. The last option is "no",
when the user is never forced.
Config options:
* inject_user_password (bool: True)
* first_logon_behaviour (string: "clear_text_injected_only")
.. note:: This plugin can run multiple times (for posting the password if the
metadata service supports this).
Static networking
-----------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.networkconfig.NetworkConfigPlugin
Statically configures each network adapter for which corresponding details
are found into metadata. The details/addresses association is done using
MAC matching and if this fails, then name or interface index matching.
The basic setting is based on IPv4 addresses, but it supports IPv6 addresses
too if they are enabled and exposed to the metadata.
The purpose of this plugin is to configure network adapters, for which the
DHCP server is disabled, to have internet access and static IPs.
.. warning:: This may require a system restart.
Saving public keys
------------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.sshpublickeys.SetUserSSHPublicKeysPlugin
Creates an **authorized_keys** file in the user's home directory containing
the SSH keys provided in the metadata. It is needed by the plugin responsible
for encrypting and setting passwords.
Config options:
* username (string: "Admin")
Volume expanding
----------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.extendvolumes.ExtendVolumesPlugin
Extends automatically a disk partition to its maximum size. This is useful
when booting images with different flavors. By default, all the volumes are
extended, but you can select specific ones by populating with their indexes the
`volumes_to_extend` option.
Config options:
* volumes_to_extend (list of integers: None)
.. note:: This plugin will run at every boot.
WinRM listener
--------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.winrmlistener.ConfigWinRMListenerPlugin
Configures a WinRM HTTPS listener to allow remote management via
`WinRM <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384426(v=vs.85).aspx>`_
or PowerShell.
Config options:
* winrm_enable_basic_auth (bool: True)
.. note:: This plugin will run until a full and proper configuration
will take place.
.. _certificate:
WinRM certificate
-----------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.winrmcertificateauth.ConfigWinRMCertificateAuthPlugin
Enables password-less authentication for remote management via WinRS or
PowerShell. Usually uses x509 embedded with UPN certificates.
Config options:
* username (string: "Admin")
.. note:: http://www.cloudbase.it/windows-without-passwords-in-openstack/
.. _scripts:
Scripts execution
-----------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.localscripts.LocalScriptsPlugin
Executes any script (powershell, batch, python etc.) located in the following
path indicated by `local_scripts_path` option.
More details about the supported scripts and content can be found
in :ref:`tutorial` on :ref:`file execution <execution>` subject.
Config options:
* local_scripts_path (string: None)
.. warning:: This may require a system restart.
.. note:: This plugin may run multiple times (depending on the script(s)
return code).
Licensing
---------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.licensing.WindowsLicensingPlugin
Activates the Windows instance if the `activate_windows` option is *True*.
Config options:
* activate_windows (bool: False)
Clock synchronization
---------------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.windows.ntpclient.NTPClientPlugin
Applies NTP client info based on the DHCP server options, if available. This
behavior is enabled only when the `ntp_use_dhcp_config` option is set
to *True* (which by default is *False*).
Config options:
* ntp_use_dhcp_config (bool: False)
.. note:: This plugin will run until the NTP client is configured.
MTU customization
-----------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.mtu.MTUPlugin
Sets the network interfaces MTU based on the value provided by the DHCP server
options, if available and enabled (by default is *True*).
This is particularly useful for cases in which a lower MTU value is required
for networking (e.g. OpenStack GRE Neutron Open vSwitch configurations).
Config options:
* mtu_use_dhcp_config (bool: True)
.. note:: This plugin will run at every boot.
User data
---------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.userdata.UserDataPlugin
Executes custom scripts provided by user data metadata as plain text or
compressed with Gzip.
More details, examples and possible formats here: :ref:`userdata`.
----
Configuring selected plugins
----------------------------
By default, all plugins are executed, but a custom list of them can be
specified through the `plugins` option in the configuration file.
For more details on doing this, see :ref:`configuration <config>`
file in :ref:`tutorial`.

.. _services:
Services
========
A **metadata service** has the role of pulling the guest provided data
(configuration information) and exposing it to the :ref:`plugins` for a
general and basic initialization of the instance.
These sub-services can change their behavior according to custom
configuration options, if they are specified, which are documented below.
Supported metadata services (cloud specific):
.. _httpservice:
OpenStack (web API)
-------------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.httpservice.HttpService
A complete service which also supports password related capabilities and
can be usually accessed with http://169.254.169.254/ magic address, which can
also be changed using `metadata_base_url` option under the config file. A
default value of *True* for `add_metadata_private_ip_route` option is used
to add a route for the IP address to the gateway. This is needed for supplying
a bridge between different VLANs in order to get access to the web server.
Capabilities:
* instance ID
* host name
* public keys
* authentication certificates (metadata + user data)
* static network configuration addresses
* admin password
* user data
* user content (additional files)
* ability to post passwords
Config options:
* metadata_base_url (string: "http://169.254.169.254/")
* add_metadata_private_ip_route (bool: True)
.. _configdrive:
OpenStack (configuration drive)
-------------------------------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.configdrive.ConfigDriveService
This is similar to the web API, but it "serves" its files locally without
requiring network access. The data is generally retrieved from a
`cdrom <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660>`_,
`vfat <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#VFAT>`_ or
*raw* disks/partitions by enabling selective lookup across different devices.
Use the `config_drive_types` option to specify which types of config drive
content the service will search for and also on which devices using the
`config_drive_locations` option.
.. warning:: *deprecated options*
Using the option:
a. `config_drive_cdrom`
b. `config_drive_raw_hhd`
c. `config_drive_vfat`
It will search for metadata:
a. in mounted optical units
b. directly in the physical disk bytes
c. by exploring the physical disk as a vfat drive; which requires
*mtools* (specified by the `mtools_path` option)
The interesting part with this service is the fact that is quite fast in
comparison with the HTTP twin.
Capabilities:
* instance ID
* host name
* public keys (search in the entire metadata)
* authentication certificates (metadata + user data)
* static network configuration addresses
* admin password
* user data
* user content (additional files)
Config options:
* config_drive_types (list: ["vfat", "iso"])
* config_drive_locations (list: ["cdrom", "hdd", "partition"])
* mtools_path (string: None)
Amazon EC2
----------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.ec2service.EC2Service
This is similar to the OpenStack HTTP service but is using a different
format for URLs and is having general capabilities.
Capabilities:
* instance ID
* host name
* public keys
Config options:
* ec2_metadata_base_url (string: "http://169.254.169.254/")
* ec2_add_metadata_private_ip_route (bool: True)
.. note:: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html
CloudStack
----------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.cloudstack.CloudStack
Another web-based service which usually uses "10.1.1.1" or DHCP addresses for
retrieving content.
Capabilities:
* instance ID
* host name
* public keys
* admin password (retrieval/deletion/polling)
* user data
Config options:
* cloudstack_metadata_ip (string: "10.1.1.1")
.. note:: By design, this service can update the password anytime, so it will
cause the `setuserpassword` plugin to run at every boot and
by security concerns, the password is deleted right after retrieval
and no updating will occur until a new password is available on the
server.
OpenNebula
----------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.opennebulaservice.OpenNebulaService
The *OpenNebula* provider is related to configuration drive and searches for
a specific context file which holds all the available info. The provided
details are exposed as bash variables gathered in a shell script.
Capabilities:
* instance ID (not present; usually a constant is returned)
* host name
* public keys
* static network configuration addresses
* user data
Ubuntu MaaS
-----------
.. class:: cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.maasservice.MaaSHttpService
This one works with instances on bare metal and uses web requests for
retrieving the available exposed metadata. It uses
`OAuth <http://oauth.net/>`_ to secure the requests.
Capabilities:
* instance ID
* host name
* public keys
* authentication certificates (x509)
* user data
----
Configuring available services
------------------------------
Some of these classes can be specified manually in the configuration file
under `metadata_services` option. Based on this option, the service loader
will search across these providers and try to load the most suitable one.
For more details on doing this, see :ref:`configuration <config>`
file in :ref:`tutorial`.

.. _tutorial:
Tutorial
========
First, download your desired type of installer from :ref:`here <download>`,
then install it and fill in configuration options which suits you best.
Based on the current selected *cloudbase-init* installer architecture, it'll
be available under *C:\\Program Files* or *C:\\Program Files (x86)* as
**Cloudbase Solutions\\Cloudbase-Init** directory. There, are located some
folders of interest like:
* bin - Executable files and other binaries.
* conf - Configuration files holding miscellaneous options.
* log - Here are the cloudbase-init logs.
* LocalScripts - User supplied :ref:`scripts <execution>`.
* Python - Bundle of executable and library files to support Python
scripts and core execution.
After install, cloudbase-init acts like a 2-step service which will read
metadata using :ref:`services` and will pass that to the executing
:ref:`plugins`, this way configuring all the supported things.
Depending on the platform, some plugins may request reboots.
Sysprepping
-----------
The System Preparation (Sysprep) tool prepares an installation of Windows for
duplication, auditing, and customer delivery. Duplication, also called imaging,
enables you to capture a customized Windows image that you can reuse throughout
an organization.
The Sysprep phase uses the "Unattend.xml" which implies the service to run
using the "cloudbase-init-unattend.conf" configuration file.
.. _config:
Configuration file
------------------
In the chosen installation path, under the *conf* directory, are present
two config files named "cloudbase-init.conf" and
"cloudbase-init-unattend.conf".
These can hold various config options for picking up the desired available
services and plugins ready for execution and also customizing user experience.
*Explained example of configuration file:*
.. code-block:: text
[DEFAULT]
# What user to create and in which group(s) to be put.
username=Admin
groups=Administrators
inject_user_password=true # Use password from the metadata (not random).
# Which devices to inspect for a possible configuration drive (metadata).
config_drive_raw_hhd=true
config_drive_cdrom=true
# Path to tar implementation from Ubuntu.
bsdtar_path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\bin\bsdtar.exe
# Logging debugging level.
verbose=true
debug=true
# Where to store logs.
logdir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\log\
logfile=cloudbase-init-unattend.log
default_log_levels=comtypes=INFO,suds=INFO,iso8601=WARN
logging_serial_port_settings=
# Enable MTU and NTP plugins.
mtu_use_dhcp_config=true
ntp_use_dhcp_config=true
# Where are located the user supplied scripts for execution.
local_scripts_path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\LocalScripts\
# Services that will be tested for loading until one of them succeeds.
metadata_services=cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.configdrive.ConfigDriveService,
cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.httpservice.HttpService,
cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.ec2service.EC2Service,
cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.maasservice.MaaSHttpService
# What plugins to execute.
plugins=cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.mtu.MTUPlugin,
cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.sethostname.SetHostNamePlugin
# Miscellaneous.
allow_reboot=false # allow the service to reboot the system
stop_service_on_exit=false
The "cloudbase-init-unattend.conf" configuration file is similar to the
default one and is used by the Sysprepping phase. It was designed for the
scenario where the minimum user intervention is required and it only runs
the MTU and host name plugins, leaving the image ready for further
initialization cases.
More of these explained options are available under the :ref:`services`,
:ref:`plugins` and :ref:`userdata` documentation.
.. _execution:
File execution
--------------
Cloudbase-init has the ability to execute user provided scripts, usually
found in the default path
*C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Cloudbase Solutions\\Cloudbase-Init\\LocalScripts*,
through a specific :ref:`plugin <scripts>` for doing this stuff. Depending on
the platform used, the files should be valid MZPEs, PowerShell, Python,
Batch or Bash scripts, containing the actual code. The user data plugin is
also capable of executing various script types and return code value handling.
Based on their return codes, you can instruct the system to reboot or even
re-execute the plugin on the next boot:
* 1001 - reboot and don't run the plugin again on next boot
* 1002 - don't reboot now and run the plugin again on next boot
* 1003 - reboot and run the plugin again on next boot

.. _userdata:
Userdata
========
The *userdata* is the user custom content exposed to the guest instance
by the currently deployed and running cloud infrastructure. Its purpose is
to provide additional data for the instance to customize it as much as you
need, if the cloud initialization service does support this feature.
Fortunately, *cloudbase-init* is able to interpret and use this kind of user
specific data in multiple ways. In most of the cases, the thing that indicates
of what type is the processed data is usually the **first line**.
Currently supported contents:
PEM certificate
---------------
**-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----**
This one should start with a PEM specific beginning header, which will
be eventually parsed by the :ref:`configuration drive <configdrive>`
and :ref:`web API <httpservice>` OpenStack services and used by the
:ref:`certificate` plugin for storing and using it.
Batch
-----
**rem cmd**
The file is executed in a *cmd.exe* shell (can be changed with the `COMSPEC`
environment variable).
PowerShell
----------
**#ps1_sysnative** (system native)
**#ps1_x86** (Windows On Windows 32bit)
Execute PowerShell scripts using the desired executable. For finding out more
about the system nativeness thing, click :ref:`here <sysnative>`.
Bash
----
**#!/bin/bash**
A bash shell needs to be installed in the system and available in the `PATH`
in order to use this feature.
Python
------
**#!/usr/bin/env python**
Python is available by default with the build itself, but also it must be in
the system `PATH`.
EC2 format
----------
There is no "first line" here, but the content should follow a XML pattern
with valid Batch/PowerShell script contents under **script** or **powershell**
enclosing tags like in this example:
.. code-block:: xml
<script>
set root=%SystemDrive%
echo ec2dir>%root%\ec2file.txt
</script>
<powershell>
$root = $env:SystemDrive
$dname = Get-Content "$root\ec2file.txt"
New-Item -path "$root\$dname" -type directory
</powershell>
.. note:: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/UsingConfig_WinAMI.html
Cloud config
------------
**#cloud-config**
Cloud-config YAML configuration as supported by *cloud-init*, excluding Linux
specific content.
The following cloud-config directives are supported:
* write_files - Defines a set of files which will be created on the local
filesystem. It can be a list of items or only one item,
with the following attributes:
1. path - Absolute path on disk where the content should be written.
2. content - The content which will be written in the given file.
3. permissions - Integer representing file permissions.
4. encoding - The encoding of the data in content. Supported encodings
are: b64, base64 for base64-encoded content, gz,
gzip for gzip encoded content, gz+b64, gz+base64,
gzip+b64, gzip+base64 for base64 encoded gzip content.
*Examples:*
.. code-block:: xml
# One item
write_files:
encoding: b64
content: NDI=
path: C:\test
permissions: '0o466'
.. code-block:: xml
# Multiple items
write_files:
- encoding: b64
content: NDI=
path: C:\b64
permissions: '0644'
- encoding: base64
content: NDI=
path: C:\b64_1
permissions: '0644'
- encoding: gzip
content: !!binary |
H4sIAGUfoFQC/zMxAgCIsCQyAgAAAA==
path: C:\gzip
permissions: '0644'
* set_timezone - Change the underlying timezone.
*Example:*
.. code-block:: text
set_timezone: Asia/Tbilisi
* set_hostname - Override the already default set host name value. (metadata)
*Example:*
.. code-block:: text
set_hostname: newhostname
Multi-part content
------------------
MIME multi-part user data is supported. The content will ne handled based on
the content type.
* text/x-shellscript - Any script to be executed: PowerShell, Batch, Bash
or Python.
* text/part-handler - A script that can manage other content type parts.
This is used in particular by Heat / CFN templates,
although Linux specific.
* text/x-cfninitdata - Heat / CFN content. Written to the path provided by
`heat_config_dir` option which defaults to "C:\\cfn".
(examples of Heat Windows `templates`_)

.. _sysnative:
Sysnativeness
-------------
*When deciding which path to use for system executable files...*
On 32bit OSes, the return value will be the *System32* directory,
which contains 32bit programs.
On 64bit OSes, the return value may be different, depending on the
Python bits and the `sysnative` parameter. If the Python interpreter is
32bit, the return value will be *System32* (containing 32bit
programs) if `sysnative` is set to False and *Sysnative* otherwise. But
if the Python interpreter is 64bit and `sysnative` is False, the return
value will be *SysWOW64* and *System32* for a True value of `sysnative`.
Why this behavior and what is the purpose of `sysnative` parameter?
On a 32bit OS the things are clear, there is one *System32* directory
containing 32bit applications and that's all. On a 64bit OS, there's a
*System32* directory containing 64bit applications and a compatibility
one named *SysWOW64* (WindowsOnWindows) containing the 32bit version of
them. Depending on the Python interpreter's bits, the `sysnative` flag
will try to bring the appropriate version of the system directory, more
exactly, the physical *System32* or *SysWOW64* found on disk. On a WOW case
(32bit interpreter on 64bit OS), a return value of *System32* will point
to the physical *SysWOW64* directory and a return value of *Sysnative*,
which is consolidated by the existence of this alias, will point to the
real physical *System32* directory found on disk. If the OS is still
64bit and there is no WOW case (that means the interpreter is 64bit),
the system native concept is out of discussion and each return value
will point to the physical location it intends to.
On a 32bit OS the `sysnative` parameter has no meaning, but on a 64bit
one, based on its value, it will provide a real/alias path pointing to
system native applications if set to True (64bit programs) and to
system compatibility applications if set to False (32bit programs). Its
purpose is to provide the correct system paths by taking into account
the Python interpreter bits too, because on a 32bit interpreter
version, *System32* is not the same with the *System32* on a 64bit
interpreter. Also, using a 64bit interpreter, the *Sysnative* alias will
not work, but the `sysnative` parameter will take care to return
*SysWOW64* if you explicitly want 32bit applications, by setting it to False.
