Public bug reported: It's certainly clear that there are lots of possible configuration combinations (OSxProvider).
Initially, I have thought that picking up the relevant configuration by pieces would work, but then reading the manual leaves some uncertainties. - information that you can place the configuration either in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/* should be placed more prominently in an opening section, maybe also with an explained possible layout in the least. Are both ways idempotent, say, you could place everything in the single config file? - for example for network configuration, the documentation https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/network-config- format-v2.html says "ethernets: []" is a valid default piece of configuration. Is it equivalent to using the "match" keyword with an asterisk? - for CloudStack, is the data source configuration also a valid complete minimal configuration so that the machine is able to configure a default DHCP network and get metadata? - debug: "verbose: true/false (defaulting to true)" does this mean, "verbose" is not needed but the "debug" statement has to be there to produce output? - logging: "The default config is given as "output: { all: "| tee -a /var/log/cloud-init-output.log" }" - does it mean, for default logging I do not need to provide the "output" statement or exactly that is required to enabled it? ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
