Trove provides a dictionary of files that it wants on the instance and most of the time this works. Nova passes them to the launched VM as metadata on config drive. Sometimes though, it doesn't. When injection fails, I see a cloud-init.log that looks like this: https://gist.github.com/amrith/7566d8fef4b6e813cca77e5e3b1f1d5a When injection succeeds, I see a cloud-init.log that looks like this: https://gist.github.com/amrith/50d9e3050d88ec51e13b0a510bd718c3 Observe that the one that succeeds properly injects three files: /etc/injected_files (which is something I added just for debugging) /etc/trove/conf.d/... two files here ...
