Portable Configuration Drive
Registered by
Paul Voccio
This proposal is to configure each VM with an additional small disk image that is formatted with a ISO9660, FAT32 or some other easily readable file system that can be mounted by all or most modern operating systems. The disk would be mountable by the hypervisor to write configuration data and files that the guest could then read or execute.
Initially, we would write metadata to to the drive that the guest could use to configure itself or provide a reference point in case of misconfiguration. The drive could also be the landing point for files that are injected to the instance at boot time.
