Specifying a cloud-init File
- Start as normal when launching an instance, by clicking
under Project->Compute->Instances and specifying your VM's configuration as described in Launching a VM. - Before clicking Launch, select the Post-Creation tab and specify your Customization Script Source, in this case a Cloud-init YAML file, by either copying and pasting into a text box (Direct Input method) or uploading from a file from your desktop computer (File method). Older versions of OpenStack, in particular IceHouse, only provide a text box to copy and past your CloudInit file into.
- Once the usual selections for your VM, as described in Launching a VM, have been made and the Cloud-init YAML file is included, click Launch to create the VM. It may take some time for CloudInit to complete depending on what has been specified in the Cloud-init YAML file.
