Ian Wienand 51cb5aa4ac Replace openstack.org git:// URLs with https://
This is a mechanically generated change to replace openstack.org
git:// URLs with https:// equivalents.

This is in aid of a planned future move of the git hosting
infrastructure to a self-hosted instance of gitea (https://gitea.io),
which does not support the git wire protocol at this stage.

This update should result in no functional change.

-------------------------------------------------
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 been changed.
.. image:: os-collect-config-and-friends.svg
[#update_svg]_
Usage
=====
You must define what sources to collect configuration data from in
*/etc/os-collect-config.conf*.
The format of this file is::
[default]
command=os-refresh-config
[cfn]
metadata_url=http://192.0.2.99:8000/v1/
access_key_id = ABCDEFGHIJLMNOP01234567890
secret_access_key = 01234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP
path = MyResource
stack_name = my.stack
These sources will be polled and whenever any of them is changed,
*default.command* will be run. A file will be written to the cache
dir, os_config_files.json, which will be a json list of the file paths
to the current copy of each metadata source. This list will also be
set as a colon separated list in the environment variable
*OS_CONFIG_FILES* for the command that is run. So in the example
above, *os-refresh-config* would be executed with something like this
in *OS_CONFIG_FILES*::
/var/lib/os-collect-config/ec2.json:/var/lib/os-collect-config/cfn.json
The previous version of the metadata from a source (if available) is present at $FILENAME.last.
When run without a command, the metadata sources are printed as a json document.
Quick Start
===========
Install::
sudo pip install -U git+https://git.openstack.org/openstack/os-collect-config.git
Run it on an OpenStack instance with access to ec2 metadata::
os-collect-config
That should print out a json representation of the entire ec2 metadata tree.
.. [#update_svg] Recommend using LibreOffice draw to edit os-collect-config-and-friends.odg and regenerate the svg file. Alternatively edit the svg directly, but remove the .odg file if that is done.
