VM variables
After you launch your VM, you can find the VM variables at:
| Code Block |
|---|
C:\ProgramData\Abiquo\abiquo-env.rc |
cloudbase-init
We can only log into the VM using the guest initial password because we cannot post the password autogenerated by cloudbase-init to the metadata service.
In the Bootstrap script, users should be able to add any script because AWS passes the script to the instance in UserData as a MIME multi-part message with content type text/x-shellscript. (See https://cloudbase-init.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userdata.html#multi-part-content)
ec2launch and ec2config
You must enclose the bootstrap script with <script></script> tags for a batch script and <powershell></powershell> tags for a powershell script.
ec2launch v2
The bootstrap script should be in a yaml format. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/ec2-windows-user-data.html#user-data-yaml-scripts
