os-apply-config
Collect configuration from cloud metadata sources.
What does it do?
It collects data from defined configuration sources and runs a defined hook whenever the metadata has changed.
Usage
You must define what sources to collect configuration data from in /etc/os-collect-config/sources.ini
The format of this file is
[default]
command=os-refresh-config
[ec2]
type=ec2-metadata
[cfn]
type=cloudformation
These sources will be processed in order, and whenever any of them changes, default.command will be run. OS_CONFIG_FILES will be set in the environment as a colon (":") separated list of the current copy of each metadata source. So in the example above, "os-refresh-config" would be executed with something like this in OS_CONFIG_FILES:
/var/run/os-collect-config/ec2.json:/var/run/os-collect-config/cfn.json
The sources can also be crafted using runtime arguments:
os-collect-config --command=os-refresh-config --source ec2:type=ec2-metadata --source cfn:type=cloudformation
Quick Start
sudo pip install -U git+git://github.com/stackforge/os-collect-config.git
run it on an OpenStack instance with access to ec2 metadata:
os-collect-config --print --source "ec2:ec2-metadata"
That should print out a json representation of the entire ec2 metadata tree.
