Overview

This module installs cloudinit scripts on Amazon EC2 instances

Module Description

Cloud-init is the defacto multi-distribution package that handles early initialization of a cloud instance.

This module helps you install cloud-init scripts to your EC2 nodes.

Setup

What cloudinit affects

cloudinit::script installs scripts to the cloudinit script base directory, /var/lib/cloud/scripts

Beginning with cloudinit

To install a per-instance cloudinit script:

  cloudinit::script{'my-first-cloudinit-script':
    source      => "puppet:///modules/${module_name}/my-first-cloudinit-script",
  }

This is the same thing, but explicitly specifying the default values:

  cloudinit::script{'my-first-cloudinit-script':
    ensure      => present,
    source      => "puppet:///modules/${module_name}/my-first-cloudinit-script",
    script_type => 'per-instance',
  }
