The drive will contain the user data. Its an alternative to the metadata service and isn't a "normal" drive. Its created, mounted, and populated by Nova.

You pass data via the user_data property. Thanks Randall that is what I was thinking. But I am confused. When booting an instance with nova boot, I can configure a local file/directory to be mounted as a config drive on the instance upon boot. I can also provide information and commands regularly through the user_data Through Heat I can provide configuration through user_data. And I can also mount a config_drive. Where do I define what that config_drive contains? -------- Original message -------- From: Maish Saidel-Keesing Date:08/07/2015 8:08 AM (GMT-06:00) To: "OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)" Subject: [openstack-dev] [Heat] creating a stack with a config_drive I have been looking for a working example to create Heat stack with a config_drive attached. I know it is possible to deploy a nova instance with the CLI [1] I see that OS::Nova::Server has a config_drive property that is a Boolean value [2] What I cannot find is how this can be used. Where is the path defined for the config file? Or am I completely missing what and how this should be used? Anyone with more info on this - I would be highly grateful. Thanks.
