Hello,

Is it possible to run the cloudbase-init manually so I can debug my userdata without launching a new windows instance? ANd how? Thanks a lot

Hi,

Just delete this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init

And restart cloudbase-init

Restart-Service cloudbase-init

are you still just getting the userdata from metadata service (169.254.169.254)? Is there a way to provide the userdata manually to test images before launching them in openstack, such as storing a #cloud-config file in a local directory and pointing at it?

In OpenStack, you also have the option to provide a configdrive (iso / vhd / vhdx) to your instances. You can force attaching a configdrive to your instances by setting the force_config_drive=True option in the compute node's nova.conf file (and restarting the nova-compute service).
