Cloudify Utilities: Cloud-Init

Cloud-Init is the standard for configuration of cloud instances. See examples.

External files/jinja2 templates in write_files.content

To use files from blueprint directory as template for files in write_files (content resource_config -> write_files -> content), it has to be defined as a dictionary which may contain three keys:

resource_type: if it’s filled with string “file_resource”, the plugin will be looking for resources under the path defined in resource_name,
resource_name: defines the path, where the resource resides,
template_variables: if not empty, this dictionary is being used to fill the resource content (jinja2 template) with variables.

Examples:

Install mariadb on AWS instance.
