Scaleway¶

Scaleway datasource uses data provided by the Scaleway metadata service to do initial configuration of the network services.

The metadata service is reachable at the following addresses :

IPv4: 169.254.42.42
IPv6: fd00:42::42

Configuration¶

Scaleway datasource may be configured in system configuration (in /etc/cloud cloud.cfg) or by adding a file with the .cfg suffix containing the following information in the /etc/cloud.cfg.d directory:

datasource:
  Scaleway:
    retries: 3
    timeout: 10
    max_wait: 2
    metadata_urls:
      - alternate_url

retries

Controls the maximum number of attempts to reach the metadata service.
timeout

Controls the number of seconds to wait for a response from the metadata service for one protocol.
max_wait

Controls the number of seconds to wait for a response from the metadata service for all protocols.
metadata_urls

List of additional URLs to be used in an attempt to reach the metadata service in addition to the existing ones.

User Data¶

cloud-init fetches user data using the metadata service using the /user_data endpoint. Scaleway’s documentation provides a detailed description on how to use userdata. One can also interact with it using the userdata api.
