NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

Creating the cloud-init image

The NetBackup for OpenStack appliance uses cloud-init to provide the initial network and user configuration.

Cloud-init reads its information either from a metadata server or from a provided cd image. NetBackup for OpenStack uses the cd image.
