Add a bootstrap script to a VM template

Add a bootstrap script to a VM template and the platform will add it to all VMs created from the template to use with the Cloud-init or similar options for Guest setup.

Before you begin:

Prepare a template that is compatible with cloud-init version 0.7.9 or above, or cloudbase-init, or a similar system
In private cloud, the platform will create an ISO disk for Configuration drive

To add a VM bootstrap configuration or script:

Go to Catalogue → Edit VM template
Go to Bootstrap
Paste your configuration or script in the Bootstrap script text box
Continue to configure the VM template or click Save to finish

Note: when you save VM disks to an instance template, Abiquo copies the VM bootstrap script to the instance template.
