CLOUD-AGENT(8) - System Manager's Manual
# NAME
**cloud-agent** - cloud provisioning for OpenBSD VMs
# SYNOPSIS
**cloud-agent**
\[**-nuv**]
\[**-p** *length*]
\[**-r** *rootdisk*]
\[**-t** *timeout*]
\[**-U** *username*]
*interface*
# DESCRIPTION
The
**cloud-agent**
program manages the OpenBSD provisioning and VM interaction in cloud
environments, including Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.
The options are as follows:
**-p** *length*
> Generate and set a random password for the default user.
> The password will be written in its plain form into the
> *~/.ssh/authorized\_keys*
> file.
> This allows to use the
> doas(1)
> command to gain root privileges.
> The minimum
> *length*
> is 8 characters and the default is an empty password.
**-n**
> Do not configure the system and skip the provisioning step.
**-t** *timeout*
> Change the HTTP timeout.
> The default is 3 seconds.
**-U** *username*
> Change the default user.
> The default is
> "ec2-user"
> on AWS,
> "azure-user"
> on Azure, and
> "puffy"
> everywhere else.
> The default user is used when it is not obtained from the cloud
> configuration.
> Using
> "root"
> is supported, but not recommended.
**-r** *rootdisk*
> Automatically grow the last
> OpenBSD
> FFS partition of the root disk to use all the available space.
**-u**
> Deprovision and unconfigure the system.
> This deletes keys, passwords, and logs files without asking for permission.
**-v**
> Produce more verbose output.
Enable
**cloud-agent**
in the
hostname.if(5)
of the VM's primary networking interface and automatically the last
partition of the root disk:
# cat /etc/hostname.hvn0
dhcp
!/usr/local/libexec/cloud-agent -r sd0 "\$if"
# FILES
*~/.ssh/authorized\_keys*
> The location of the agent-configured SSH public keys and optional password.
*/usr/local/libexec/cloud-agent*
> The agent itself.
*/usr/local/bin/cms*
> The CMS binary that is used to decrypt messages from the Azure fabric.
*/var/db/cloud-instance*
> The instance ID as reported by the cloud.
> **cloud-agent**
> reprovisions the system when the value has changed.
