Description

Scaleway has advertised the support for cloud-init for its Elastic Metal product lineup. However, when trying out the Terraform module, it seems that it is currently not possible to pass any cloud-init configuration for initial setup.

  os          = "96e5f0f2-d216-4de2-8a15-68730d877885" # Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

  ssh_key_ids = [var.keypair_id]
}

Hello, this is a feature that is not yet available publicly and will be soon.

Thanks for the prompt reply! Do you have any approximate ETA for this? We're quite reliant on providing user_data for deployed instances unfortunately...

@ErwanPaillard might be able to tell you more.

Nothing new publicly, this will be added to terraform once the feature get released.
