Engineering Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088099 Title: composable datasource Status in cloud-init: Expired Bug description: It might be interesting to support a datasource that can be dynamically generated by configuration. A datasource is really a set of functions which return a set of values, so why not let users pick from a known good list of functions and create there own datasource. Something like the following may illustrate this concept. --- datasource: default-locale: en_US.UTF-8 fetch: metadata: ec2 userdata: cfgdrive filter: metadata: null userdata: launch-index post-accept: - log-accepted pre-accept: - write-network ... The above keys would specify either datasource configuration or what functions to use to perform various datasource 'stages' (ie fetching, filtering, pre and post datasource acceptence and so on). The translation of said keys -> functions could be done via lookups in a standard datasource 'library' module with the end result of the configuration being a object created from the configuration that will perform said tasks. This might be an interesting way to allow for new datasource usage and potentially even allowing for said fetching methods to call into more than one userdata function (and merging the result), for example. --- datasource: fetch: metadata: - ec2 - cfgdrive userdata: cfgdrive ...
