Windows 2012 R2 Cloud-Init

[Chad Clarke]

Has anyone been able to get Windows 2012 R2 Cloud-Init to work with Proxmox 5.2?

If so, did you build your image? What version of Cloud-Init? Any other guidance on this issue?

I just tried to build my own image and set the drive to citype: configdrive2 but for some reason its not working
in the debug output it cant open the iso I m not sure why yet
If I find anything I will let you know

OK finally go somewhere the problem is Windows Cloud init cant find the configure drive


I made my own cloud-init drive with a drive label config-2
and a layout like
openstack






if label and label.lower() == CONFIG_DRIVE_LABEL and \
os.path.exists(os.path.join(drive,
'openstack\\latest\\'
'meta_data.json')):
LOG.info('Config Drive found on %s', drive)
return True
return False

sorry about that I posted when I had not finished and cant see how to remove
any why I made my down CD attached it to windows and it works

The layout is like
openstack/latest
and there is a meta_data.json in the latest folder

Now it finds the drive
INFO cloudbaseinit.metadata.services.osconfigdrive.windows [-] Config Drive found on D:\

They look for
os.path.exists(os.path.join(drive,
'openstack\\latest\\'
'meta_data.json')):
and a label of config-2 or upper case version

now when I mount the one created by Proxmox it creates the correct label
BUT the directories are
OPENSTAC/LATEST
and the file is
META_DAT.JSO

So I m 99% sure this is the problem that it does not work
can we change the source code somewhere so when it creates the ISO it does not use those DOS names ?

Please I know you do not support the windows but this will help big time
