# cloud-init-datasources

Configures cloud-init to only use an explicit list of data sources.

Cloud-init contains a growing collection of data source modules and most are enabled by default. This causes cloud-init to query each data source on first boot. This can cause delays or even boot problems depending on your environment.

Including this element without setting DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES will cause image builds to fail.

## Environment Variables

DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES

  Required: | Yes
  Default: | None
  Description: | A comma-separated list of valid data sources to limit the data sources that will be queried for metadata on first boot.
  Example: | `DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES="Ec2"` will enable only the Ec2 data source.
  Example: | `DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES="Ec2, ConfigDrive, OpenStack"` will enable the Ec2, ConfigDrive and OpenStack data sources.
