Hello, I'm not sure this is the place to ask my question, and it any case this is something which looks so trivial that I must be missing something, but - how to parametrize the cloud-config YAML files with variable expansion?
Specifically, I need it for a scenario where I'm installing chef with cloud-init, and one of the attributes chef has is "node_name" which if not set defaults to the instance id, a string of the form "i-0000009f". This non-human-readable string then gets registered as the node name in Chef, but instead of that, I'd like to use the hostname as created and passed by the cloud infrastructure (OpenStack in my case). I'm sure this is not the only place where it would be nice to customize the cloud-config data with some actual dynamic information so - how can it be done? I've tested some of the "usual suspects" in a string like "test %(hostname) %(fqdn) %(instance_id) $fqdn %f $INSTANCE_ID" but none of those work.
