第 13 章 Preventing cloud-init from updating config files


When you create or restore an instance from a backup image, the instance ID changes. With an updated instance ID, the cloud-init utility updates configuration files. However, you can ensure that cloud-init does not update certain configuration files when you create or restore from backup.

Procedure

  1. Edit the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file:

    # vi /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
  2. Comment out or remove the configuration that you do not want cloud-init to update when you restore your instance. For example, to avoid updating the SSH key file, remove -ssh from the cloud_init_modules section.

    cloud_init_modules:
     - disk_setup
     - migrator
     - bootcmd
     - write-files
     - growpart
     - resizefs
     - set_hostname
     - update_hostname
     - update_etc_hosts
     - rsyslog
     - users-groups
     # - ssh

Verification

  • To check the configuration files updated by cloud-init, examine the /var/log/cloud/cloud-init.log file. Updated files are logged during instance startup with messages beginning with Writing to:

    2019-09-03 00:16:07,XXX - util.py[DEBUG]: Writing to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys - wb: [XXX] 554 bytes
    2019-09-03 00:16:08,XXX - util.py[DEBUG]: Writing to /etc/ssh/sshd_config - wb: [XXX] 3905 bytes
