All,
Trying to use packer to maintain our Linux OpenStack images. We use
cloud-init to lay down base configurations at deploy time and would like to
move this process to a lower level and do it during image creation.
As you can see below I am referencing an external file that has
instructions for cloud-init. This same methodology works perfectly in our
Heat templates, however, in Heat we also have *user_data_format* set to
*RAW*, which is NOT the default for OpenStack and not an acceptable
parameter for packer.
When using Packer the entire #cloud-config section is being ignored.
Is there a better way to pass cloud-init instructions during the image
creation process?
