Is it possible to configure 'Cloudbase-init' to use 'metadata' server IP (ex. 10.123.2.3) instead of 169.254.169.254? In 'clould-init', 'metadataurl' can be specified in 'cloud.cfg' configuration file. Is it possible to specify 'metadataurl' in 'cloudbase-init.conf' configuration file?

Thanks, Tae

After setting the options as below, it was able to pull down the metadata from the metadata server.

The correct config options are:

metadata_base_url=http://YourServer

ec2_metadata_base_url=http://YourServer

Thanks, David

It is definitely possible, for OpenStack HTTP metadata just specify in cloudbase-init.conf and cloudbase-init-unattend.conf:

metadatabaseurl=http://yourserver/

For EC2 metadata, the config option is: ec2metadatabase_url

Even after adding 'metadatabaseurl=http://MyServer/' and 'ec2metadatabase_url=http://MyServer/' to 'cloudbase-init.conf', it is still trying to get metadata from http://169.254.169.254. Are there any options I need to spcify? Is there the documentation for configuration file. http://1drv.ms/YUEtw8
