When instantiating VOS device in the virtual environment, such as KVM, Openstack or cloud, you may want it to automatically onboard right after installation. To do that you can use cloud-init functionality, which we support in VOS™.

Here is an example cloud-init file which can be used for the configuration of eth0 interface and staging of the VOS after the boot.

cloud_init_modules:
  - write-files
  - set_hostname
  - update_hostname
  - users-groups
  - ssh
write_files:
- content: |
  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.0.230
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 192.168.0.1
 path: /etc/network/interfaces

  #!/bin/bash
  logger running staging script
  sudo /opt/versa/scripts/staging.py -l SDWAN-Branch@bk.com -r controller-1-staging@bk.
 permissions: "0755"
 path: /home/admin/versa.sh
cloud_final_modules:
 - runcmd
 - scripts-user
runcmd:
 - /home/admin/versa.sh

NOTE: it is very important to keep all the spaces at the end of each line for the file to work. JAML is very sensitive for the spaces, which serve as indicators of beginning of the next action.
