[one-dev] Proposal for metadata-addon

[Carlo Daffara]

Dear Ricardo, I for one would be extremely interested in it going further (and thanks for the work you have done on it!)
I hope it can be added to the other opennebula modules on the public repository;
regards
Carlo Daffara

Oggetto: [one-dev] Proposal for metadata-addon

Dear All, 

Some time ago I made available a service that implemented the EC2 metadata protocol. For more information, please see: 

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/2008-08-08/DeveloperGuide/AESDG-chapter-instancedata.html 

The main benefit is that you can get instance meta-data from inside the machine, most notably the user-data and public keys. 
And because it is compatible with EC2, you can use cloud-init or other tools without any modification. 

You can find the code and instructions on the following link: 

https://bitbucket.org/ricardoduarte/opennebula-metadata 

This server has been extremely valuable for my users, and I think a wider audience would also benefit from it. 
So, I would like to push forward the metadata-addon. 
The current code is compatible with, at least, the 4.4 branch of One, and I've been using it in production for 1+ year. I plan to test it with the latest versions, and also add more metadata fields in the near future. 
Do you think it is valuable for the community? How should I proceed? 

Regards, 
Ricardo
