Configuration scripts in cloud instance creation (cloud-init)
Note: Configuration scripts in xneelo Cloud are best suited for Linux-based instances, which support cloud-init by default. |
Configuration scripts (also known as user-data scripts, or cloud-init scripts) let you automate server setup tasks of a new cloud instance during its creation.
In xneelo Cloud, you can write your own cloud-init configuration scripts and apply them during instance creation. This helps save time and ensure consistency across your instances.
In this article, we’ll explain how configuration scripts work and how to use them effectively.
Now that you’re familiar with configuration scripts, you can put them into practice by creating a new cloud instance and testing your setup.
Try using one of the example scripts above, or create your own to automate your preferred configuration.
