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.
