UserData Reference

Laniakea supports various macros to construct and maintain user-data files.

Note that not all modules are still supporting UserData files but use a container approach instead i.e Google Compute Engine. You can and probably should spawn containers within UserData files if you plan to chose to use this kind of initialization method.

@import(path_to_other_userdata_file)@
@macro_name@

You can use the -list-userdata-macros option to print out available macros inside a user-data file. Each of these macros can then be substituted with the -userdata-macros option.

Extending Laniakea

To extend Laniakea with new cloud providers you need to ...

• Add a new folder in laniakea/core/providers/<cloud_provider>
• Write a command-line interface and put it into the __init__.py
• Write an API manager class and name it manager.py
• Add additional files (i.e userdata scripts) to laniakea/userdata/
• Add additional configuration files to laniakea/examples/
