Cloud-init not working

[Yuli]

Looks like cloud-init is not working when working with Dragonflow.

Cloud-init is a feature automatically enabled by nova.
It is used for configuration of new VMs.
Like copying SSH keys, etc...

I created a Cirros VM and tried to connect to cloud-init server:

I tried to run the following command from VM without success:
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id
curl http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id
curl http://169.254.169.254/

I am getting 500 error.

500 error for http://169.254.169.254/openstack/latest/meta_data.json

Hello

After additional research I was able to connect to the meta service.
I added the following lines to local.conf file before running the stack.sh
configuration script:

enable_service q-meta
enable_service q-dhcp

After that I was able to connect to meta service IP address: 169.254.169.254 .
In addition, I created and later connected using SSH to an ubuntu instance
using a private key generated by openstack.

It turned out to be able to use meta service, anther "hidden" service is started,
It is called meta-service-proxy service, It is used to forward meta data request to
real meta service. it is started by the regular q-dhcp service for each tenant.

Thanks and best regards,
Yuli
