Requirements

Platforms

The following platforms and versions are tested and supported using Opscode's test-kitchen.

• Debian 8
• Debian 9
• Debian 10
• Ubuntu 16.04
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Ubuntu 20.04

Attributes

cloud_init::default

Key	Type	Description
[cloud_init][cfgs]	Hash	Hash of configuration files (default: {})

Usage

cloud_init::default

Include cloud_init in your node's run_list and set the cfgs attribute to install cloud-init package and create configuration files:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[cloud_init]"
  ],
  "attributes": {
    "cloud_init": {
      "cfgs": {
        "hostname": {
          "priority": "90",
          "config": {
            "preserve_hostname": "true"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This setup will create the configuration file /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_hostname.cfg with following content:

preserve_hostname: true
