CoreOS Ignition on Rackspace (OpenStack) via REST API

[Gin]

Hi,

Has anyone been able to fire up an instance of CoreOS with Ignition scripts on Rackspace?

As far as I know, Rackspace Server API accepts user_data parameter with base64-encoded contents. I've tested with cloud-config and it does work. 

With the Ignition config - which is a validated Json, taken from the examples page - the instance boots up as if no config file has been provided,

Is there anything different in the process of providing Ignition config to CoreOS?

CoreOS: latest at the time of writing.

Regards,

Gin

It doesn’t look like Rackspace is a supported platform: https://coreos.com/ignition/docs/latest/supported-platforms.html

We haven't had a chance to work on Rackspace support in Ignition. As a
result, when Ignition sees Rackspace, it just no-ops. We would love help
with the development of this functionality. To be honest, Rackspace is a
relatively low priority for us right now.
