 | 1 | initial version |
An agent called Cloud-Init on Linux and Cloudbase-Init on Windows runs as part of the initial guest provisioning.
There are quite a few actions performed, with username and password management being just one of those.
By default a user called admin is provisioned on the instance. The encrypted password can be retrieved with nova get-password (there's an Horizon equivalent UI action):
nova get-password vm1 ~\.ssh\id_rsa
PowerShell userdata scripts can also be passed as part of the boot action (see for example the Horizon interface), for example:
#ps1
Set-Content c:\hello.txt "Hello OpenStack"
