Hey Rene and Ivan,
During tests my setup was utilizing Rene scripts:
- 99_CloudStack.cfg script successfully makes cloud-init to use Cloudstack data.
- 80_root.cfg script was preventing cloud_init to start during boot (missing
parameters error message) so I removed it and used the default config.cfg
instead.
Regarding the password change I figured it out - the password script is
made to be run once per instance. The data about the password setup is kept by
/var/lib/cloud/instances/<instance uuild>/sem/config_set_passwords file. If
you delete this file the next boot will fetch the ACD password but it will
apply it for the user that has been set in cloud-init config file.
Possible workarounds:
- ugly - make sure the file is deleted after boot with the custom script
cloud-init option.
- clean - change the password script execution frequency per boot instead of
per instance. Unfortunately I could not find the file that defines the
frequency for the datasource file
(/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceCloudStack.py).
Best regards,
Jordan

Subject: Re: cloudstack reset VM password files
Rene, thank you for your confirmation that it works. I'll check it again, but
my configuration looks like yours (haven't checked line by line) and password
reset doesn't work with cloud-init from ubuntu apt repository. Our engineer
rebuilds template delivery CI/CD pipeline now and we will have a chance to test
again.
