Node Tags and Custom Attributes

Cloud Init

allows you to initialize your nodes by applying configuration on the first boot. This may involve things such as creating users, authorizing SSH keys or setting up the network.

You may specify the URL of a RancherOS cloud-config.yaml file in the the Cloud Init field. Refer to the RancherOS Documentation for details on the supported configuration directives. Note that the URL must be network accessible from the VMs created by the template.
