UpCloud

The UpCloud datasource consumes information from UpCloud’s instance metadata service. This instance metadata service serves information about the running server via HTTP over the address 169.254.169.254 available in every DHCP-configured interface. The meta-data API endpoints are fully described in UpCloud API documentation.

Providing user-data

When creating a server, user-data is provided by specifying it as user_data in the API or via the server creation tool in the control panel. User-data is immutable during the server’s lifetime, and can be removed by deleting the server.
