Vultr
*****

The `Vultr`_ datasource retrieves basic configuration values from the locally
accessible metadata service. All data is served over HTTP from the address
``169.254.169.254``. The endpoints are documented in the
`metadata service documentation`_.

Configuration

      url: 'http://169.254.169.254'
