Below you mention doubting the "embed cloud-init in kickstart" approach, so how would a user specify a cloudconfig? I could imagine an inst.cloudconfig=http://example.com/blah.yml kernel commandline option? This seems like it could work quite well if cloud-init covers everything you need. Conversely, looking at the feature overlap of kickstart and cloud-init, the latter is lacking sophisticated storage management. In other words, you could only use inst.cloudconfig if you were happy with autopart. Even that strikes me as a bit too magical. This sort of thing is why I was thinking it was most realistic to combine the strengths of the two and support embedding cloud-init in kickstart. Then it's only for PXE-to-Live that you can skip kickstart and use cloud-init alone. > Anaconda would just add > appropriate boot option (eg ds="nocloud-net;seedfrom=<URL>" for > cloud-init --url=<URL> in kickstart) and perhaps drop the cloud-config > to the target filesystem for the configuration created in installer.

I think we want a way to declare this in kickstart regardless of the cloud-init effort. > 2) Another step may be modifying installation by cloud-config (ie users > configuration in installer derived from cloud-config values). This is an interesting topic on its own; what would be the value of doing useradd at install time versus on first boot? > 3) For both approaches we may want to generate/modify cloud-config via > GUI (addon?). Also for kickstart. I'm sure this has come up before, but I'd love a button that let me interactively input a URL. And another that launched gedit. _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
