Hi to all,

I am testing cloud-init right now and run into a limitation of CS with the 
provided user-data/meta-data.

As far as docu goes 
(http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/latest/virtual_machines.html#user-data-and-meta-data)
 CS is providing the following meta-data:
service-offering, availability-zone, local-ipv4, local-hostname, public-ipv4, 
public-hostname, instance-id

Actually it is providing more:
vm-id (looks like an alias to instance-id), public-keys, cloud-identifier

To get cloud-init to recreate /etc/hosts correctly one more parameter is needed.
cloud-init needs to get the fqdn of the vm via meta-data. The name of the 
parameter is "hostname", which is providing the fqdn of the vm.

https://github.com/number5/cloud-init/blob/177cf3bb6690f9669a0a560c09ca5abbcbea964a/doc/examples/cloud-config.txt,
 Line 441 to 445

Does anybody plan to integrate this into CS?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards,

Swen
