The creation of CloudInit files is not covered here, see instead the official CloudInit documentation. When you are creating a new VM a CloudInit file can be used to describe how the VM is to be setup beyond the selected image. CloudInit files can be used with the Horizon dashboard (web GUI), the CLI, or the Python API. Here we describe how to use a CloudIinit file with Horizon. | |||
* Begin by clicking [[File:Launch-Instance-Button.png]] as described in [[Cloud_Quick_Start#Launching_a_VM]]. | |||
* '''Before''' clicking ''Launch'', select the ''Post-Creation'' tab. Then specify your ''Customization Script Source'', in this case a CloudInit YAML file, by either coping and pasting into a text box (Direct Input) or uploading from a file from your desktop computer (File). Note that older versions of OpenStack, in particular IceHouse, only provided a text box to copy and past your CloudInit file into. | |||
