Other than the leading ", that looks fine.

Ie, it is "". I actually just committed a *removal* of this warning in cloud-init as I had previously thought it just an annoying message. You can verify from inside the instance that there is no user-data, with 'ec2metadata --user-data' or 'wget http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data' > when I try to pass via xml.

Sorry, without digging/learning more, I can't help more. Have you tried the python-novaclient: nova boot --user_data my.user.data.file.txt ... Ie, try verifying that it is working with known working tools on your openstack first. Alternatively, if the ec2 api is available, that looks like: euca-run-instances --user-data-file my.user.data.file.txt ... > Here is an example of one of the configurations I tried... > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <server xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/compute/api/v1.1"; name="server8" > imageRef="http://192.168.75.70:8774/30ddcb35079f406eae98857515cbf1d2/images/57443c48-eb29-48f6-853a-b8bc7d5dde05"; > flavorRef="1" > user_data="IyEvYmluL2Jhc2gNCiMNCiNBdXRob3IgOiBFZCBzaGF3DQojRGF0ZSA6IDE0IEp1biAxMg0KI1B1cnBvc2UgOiBTZXR1cCB0aGUgaW5pdGlhbCBpbWFnZQ0KI0NvbW1lbnRzIDoNCiMNCiMgTGFzdCBFZGl0dGVkIGJ5OiBlZHNoYXcNCg0Kc2V0IC1lIC14DQpleHBvcnQgREVCSUFOX0ZST05URU5EPW5vbmludGVyYWN0aXZlDQoNCmFwdC1nZXQgdXBkYXRlICYmIGFwdC1nZXQgdXBncmFkZSAteQ0KYXB0LWdldCAteSBpbnN0YWxsIGFwYWNoZTINCg0KI1NlbmQgdG8gY29uc29sZSB3ZSBmaW5pc2hlZCBydW5uaW5nLg0KZWNobyAiTkVYSkNPTkZJRzogSW5zdGFuY2Ugc2V0dXAgc3VjY2Vzc2Z1bHkgZXhlY3V0ZWQuIiA"/> I dont see anything obviously wrong, but I'd try using the knonw orking tools first. I think python-nova client even has a --debug to dump what it is sending.
