Hi,

Proxmox attaches config drive images that expose the instance metadata in an Openstack compatible format, which we do support [1].

About the passwords: we have a plugin that sets passwords retrieved from the instance metadata. If none was provided, we'll just generate one, encrypt it and then try to pass it back to the metadata service - which works for some metadata services (e.g. the openstack one) but won't work when using config drive images (which are static).

You have a few options: * disable the password plugin so that cloudbase-init won't set passwords anymore * set a password using the instance metadata, which will be applied by cloudbase-init. you may use the "cipassword" flag for that * use certificate base authentication. Make sure that the winrm cloudbase-init plugins are enabled and then you may pass certificates using user data files. For that, you may use the "cicustom" flag.
