Public bug reported: The dashboard does not provide an option to enable/disable config drive when launching an instance. This is a problem for OpenStack deployments that do not enable the metadata service. For such deployments, launching an instance from the dashboard will result in the image not activating properly because config drive was not enabled.
The dashboard does provide options to set "Customization Script" (i.e. user data), key pair, etc. which only work if config drive is enabled or the metadata service is enabled. Since a user cannot control whether or not the metadata service is enabled, the user at least needs control of config drive to ensure the options work. ** Affects: horizon Importance: Undecided Assignee: Justin Pomeroy (jpomero) Status: New ** Changed in: horizon Assignee: (unassigned) => Justin Pomeroy (jpomero) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
