Terraform with cloud-init

[antoniolfdacruz]

Hi there!

Please, delete my question if it is considered bad in any way.

I am able to write terraform code that creates a vm in one of our xcp pools.

But can't undertand how I must configure the template in order to be able to pass cloud-init userdata and metadata.

I am using a simple VM install from ubuntu 20.04.5 ISO, turned into a template. It does not seem to load the yaml templates.

Question for @ddelnano I think

[antoniolfdacruz]

@olivierlambert Thank you, Olivier. In fact I found in this forum another topic, don't remember by who. But that has already given me enough info to reach the solution. It was about generating images to use with cloud-init. Thank you all!

@antoniolfdacruz glad to hear you were able to figure it out
