From d38ca3586827466c2e69b7be65164709ce081a52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas Alvares Gomes Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:07:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add links to the standalone configdrive documentation Prior to this patch the standalone section of the configuration drive documentation was talking about a specific format required to the configuration data but there was no link to the said format, that was confusing. This patch is adding a link a documentation with an example of how the data should be organized.
