Cloud-init for Virtual Machines

You have asked for automatic configuration of new virtual machines and we have delivered ;) This task is solved by cloud-init, a new tool available in the cloud server creation section.

An important benefit

Cloud-init is triggered automatically the first time you start a new VM.

Just provide a script for the cloud-init agent and it will do everything for you:

→ Install the required package.

→ Create a user.

→ Enable the necessary security settings.

→ Handle network settings.

Scripting and editing

→ You can work with scripts in #cloud-config and #bin/sh format — they are the ones you need to start the cloud-init process.

→ Once the cloud server is created, the given script is saved. You can edit it later on a running machine.
