Scaleway

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

The instance 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 instance metadata service.

• timeout

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

• max_wait

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

• metadata_urls

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

User-data

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