<title>Insert metadata during launch</title>
|
|
<para>When booting a server, you can also add metadata, so that you
|
|
can more easily identify it amongst your ever-growing elastic
|
|
cloud. Use the <literal>--meta</literal> option with a key=value
|
|
pair, where you can make up the string for both the key and the
|
|
value. For example, you could add a description and also the creator
|
|
of the server.
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova boot --image=natty-image --flavor=2 smallimage2 --meta description='Small test image' --meta creator=joecool</userinput></screen>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>When viewing the server information, you can see the metadata
|
|
included on the <literal>metadata</literal> line:
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova show smallimage2</userinput>
