Allow configuration of config_drive_format in nova.conf

[Jordan Callicoat]

We have LP:1468514 to allow completely disabling config drive; can we also make config_drive_format in the nova.conf template parameterized as well?

The use case is wanting to use config drive and also have live migration work:

config_drive_format=vfat

See also LP:1246201

Setting this as a wishlist item as this is an enhancement request.

For master/kilo this is not necessary as this process can simply be used: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/openstack-ansible/install-guide/configure-openstack.html

[Bjoern (bjoern-t)]

I took the overrides out of the master branch as suggested and boiled down the patch to just adding the packages. I'm personally embrace the new config merging process but then I would suggest that we call this out somewhere. This will create now the issue that deployer assume that override work as before. The override we have added in juno would not work in the same config format in kilo anymore. We should, if not explicitly mentioned, add this information inside the release nodes. Perhaps we even migrate all overrides in to the new format in a automated fashion ?

    Allow configration of config_drive_format inside nova.conf

    This patch adds the nova override nova_config_drive_formats which
    defaults to iso9660. This override can be individually configured
    over the `user_variables`. Additionally the packages
    dosfstools-dbg dosfstools are installed in case the
    config_drive_format vfat is used
