Can you please clarify me current status of multipart/mixed support in cloudbase-init? There is no implementation of it in sources. What is an current alternative to it if I would like to change user settings and execute scripts at the same time? Thank you and looking forward to your help.
Hi, cloudbase-init has multi-part MIME support, mostly for Heat templates support.
Do you have a particular example scenario that you'd like to run?
edit:
the admin user and main keypair are passed through metadata (just pass a keypair to nova boot).
The rest can be possibly best accomplished by using a PowerShell script as userdata, for example:
#ps1
net user foo secretpassword1 /add
net user bar secretpassowrd2 /add
Invoke-WebRequest http://foo.com/bar.txt -UseBasicParsing -OutFile c:\local\path\bar.txt
Edit: added content in the main answer to preserve formatting
On Linux you can provided the hashed passwords that the OS can transparently add to /etc/shadow, this is not possible on Windows. The suggested way of handling passwords on OpenStack is to use "nova get-password", letting the guest generate the password and encrypt it via the keypair's public key.
Adding also an example for obtaining files in powershell
