Subject: Re: [Proposal] Ability to retrieve user data via Admin API - 4.4
I agree with David. This feature is useless to me
That's a good idea. I'll agree that it could be extended to users who have
rights to the instances.

User can always access it through his Vm. The feature is more meant to
cover the case when Admin needs to get all the user data info for all vms
of a) network b) system

The end-user has an even more compelling reason to be able to query
that information without resorting to querying from the host than an
admin ever will.
Why would a cloud administrator need to see/care about userdata? I can
see the end-user/instance admin caring, but not the root admin.

I was just assuming if end user needs to retrieve his metadata, he can
always do it through the VM. While if Admin needs to access user¹s
meatadata - to DR the vm from one cloud to another for example - he can¹t
do it because he has no access to user¹s network.
There is no problem for me to make
I would also agree that user/account/domain access to this data via api
would be welcome. Requiring that the request originate from the VM requires
going to every VM to pull that data. With some of the setups I have seen to
drive puppet from this data, a simple util could query for all VMs that
I agree with David. This feature is useless to me as the end-user if it's
admin-only as I could never guarantee having admin access if I decided to
move my app to another provider/cloud that I don't administer.
