Hi Dmitry,

Airship will be using kubernetes cluster-api and cloud-init generation will be taken care by "Cluster api bootstrap provider kubeadm(CABPK)" and final specifics of cloud-init(like network config) for bare metal hosts will be provided by CAPI baremetal provider. So from the airship point of view cloud init generation is not our task.

Br,
Kanwar

Subject: [Airship-discuss] Cloud init script generator for airshipctl
 
Hello all,

Since we a re moving to Ironic-based bare metal provisioning using metal3-io we need to implement solution for cloud-init script creation based on new document model.
There is Golang library and cli tool [1] shared by Alan Meadows recently. We can leverage it in scope of airshipctl.
Unfortunately it supports only Ubuntu, Debian, Centos, Fedora and Redhat. So I see 2 options here:
  1. Use this library and try to contribute to it by adding more Linux distributions
  2. Reimplement same approach as a part of airshipctl codebase
What do you think?
