Hi, CloudStack supports the concept of Userdata and allows you to submit any type of binary user data when deploying a new virtual machine. Further details can be found in the documentation: http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.0-incubating/html/Admin_Guide/user-data-and-meta-data.html
There are some blogs on userdata by Jason Hancock that you may find useful: http://geek.jasonhancock.com/2011/11/09/cloudstack-userdata-into-puppet-facts/ http://geek.jasonhancock.com/2011/11/21/extending-the-cloudstack-api/ Kind Regards, Tariq Iqbal Senior Consultant S: +44(0)20 3603 0540 | M: +44(0)790 9911600 tariq.iq...@shapeblue.com | www.shapeblue.com | Twitter:@shapeBlue ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS ________________________________________ From: Seif Eddine Jemli [seifeddineje...@gmail.com] Sent: 21 February 2013 23:12 To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org Subject: VM's programming Hello, i wanted to ask , how can i program the VM's to do certain tasks automatically, when i call them from a java program using cloudstack API? how can i send data to the VM's from my java program? thanks in advance ShapeBlue provides a range of strategic and technical consulting and implementation services to help IT Service Providers and Enterprises to build a true IaaS compute cloud.
