cloud-foundation-fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/cos-generic-metadata

Generic cloud-init generator for Container Optimized OS

This helper module manages a cloud-config configuration that can start a container on Container Optimized OS (COS). Either a complete cloud-config template can be provided via the cloud_config variable with optional template variables via the config_variables, or a generic cloud-config can be generated based on typical parameters needed to start a container.

The module renders the generated cloud config in the cloud_config output, which can be directly used in instances or instance templates via the user-data metadata attribute.

Examples

Default configuration

This example will create a cloud-config that starts Envoy Proxy and expose it on port 80. For a complete example, look at the sibling envoy-traffic-director module that uses this module to start Envoy Proxy and connect it to Traffic Director.

module "cos-envoy" {
  source          = "./fabric/modules/cloud-config-container/cos-generic-metadata"
  container_image = "envoyproxy/envoy:v1.14.1"
  container_name  = "envoy"
  container_args  = "-c /etc/envoy/envoy.yaml --log-level info --allow-unknown-static-fields"
  container_volumes = [
    { host = "/etc/envoy/envoy.yaml", container = "/etc/envoy/envoy.yaml" }
  ]
  docker_args = "--network host --pid host"
  # file paths are mocked to run this example in tests
  files = {
    "/var/run/envoy/customize.sh" = {
      content     = file("/dev/null") # file("customize.sh")
      owner       = "root"
      permissions = "0744"
    }
    "/etc/envoy/envoy.yaml" = {
      content     = file("/dev/null") # file("envoy.yaml")
      owner       = "root"
      permissions = "0644"
    }
  }
  run_commands = [
    "iptables -t nat -N ENVOY_IN_REDIRECT",
