In both cases, the platform +identifies itself via DMI data in the chassis asset tag with the string +``'OracleCloud.com'``. + +Oracle's platform provides a metadata service that mimics the ``2013-10-17`` +version of OpenStack metadata service. Initially, support for Oracle was done +via the OpenStack datasource. + +``Cloud-init`` has a specific datasource for Oracle in order to: + +a. Allow and support the future growth of the OCI platform. +b. Address small differences between OpenStack and Oracle metadata + implementation. + +Configuration +============= + +The following configuration can be set for the datasource in system +configuration (in :file:`/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg` or +:file:`/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/`). + +``configure_secondary_nics`` +---------------------------- + +A boolean, defaulting to False. If set to True on an OCI Virtual Machine, +``cloud-init`` will fetch networking metadata from Oracle's IMDS and use it +to configure the non-primary network interface controllers in the system. If +set to True on an OCI Bare Metal Machine, it will have no effect (though this +may change in the future). + +Example configuration +--------------------- + +An example configuration with the default values is provided below: + +.. code-block:: yaml + + datasource: + Oracle: + configure_secondary_nics: false + +.. _Oracle Compute Infrastructure: https://cloud.oracle.com/ |
