Hello, thanks for the help! I hadn't seen the command in the documentation, this can be helpful. BTW my problem is to update metadata every time a machine is launched. For example let's talk about the hostname. Every time I launch a machine, I would like to have well-configured metadata, with the parameter public-hostname already set to a customized value. I don't want the instance name as public-hostname.
I hope I was clear and thanks again for the help, Francesco On Sat, 2013-09-14 at 07:18 +0000, Tim Bell wrote: > You can update the metadata associated with an instance using the 'nova meta' > command.
