EC2 is strategically important. I don't believe that building "gold images" is the right focus for OpenStack.
Anyone wanting to use config-drive would need to support it in their images, that is a no-brainer. It should not be required that images launching in Nova via the EC2 API support config-drive. The EC2 metadata service must remain. The EC2 API is intended to mimic EC2 behavior and provide compatibility. The OpenStack implementations should not diverge or break that compatibility. -- Eric Windisch On Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 2:05 PM, Justin Santa Barbara wrote: > Config drive can support all EC2 functionality, I believe. > > Images would need to be respun for OpenStack with config-drive, unless we > populated the config drive in a way that worked with cloud-init.
