What user and password to use in cloud images?

[Juan Orti Alcaine]

Hello, I've deployed a Fedora20 Beta qcow2 image in a VM, but I'm unable to 
login.

What is the default user and password?
And what is the cloud-init program that starts at boot? it tries to contact 
some http url, but it fails.

I cannot find any documentation about it.
Thank you.

Oh hey. I missed that this was in CloudStack -- that's a big ol' exciting
"TODO" in the cloud-init docs, but I believe that code was merged to make it
work with CloudStack's metadata provider.

We don't have anyone actively working on CloudStack support right now,
although several members of the cloud WG run it. If you'd like to help (in
any way -- testing alone is huge!) please join ius in the cloud sig:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG

and make this more awesome.

You've solved it, but for reference virt-sysprep can change passwords
in offline images.  You would use a command like this:

  virt-sysprep -a foo.qcow2 --enable password --root-password password:123456

(Changes or sets root's password to 123456)

user 'fedora' and no password (which you will be unable to login to via
ssh since sshd defaults to not allowing empy passwords). You should be
able to login on console tho.

Basically cloud-init runs on newly created instances and configures
them based on settings it gets from the cloud. Usually this means
things like: 

- set a hostname
- set up locales
- Install a ssh public key on the fedora account so you can login with
  a key. 
- set up mountpoints and mount persistent volumes. 
- run any arbitrary config you like. 

Hope that helps,

Dunno. 

There's a cloud guide: 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html-s...
but it looks kind of dated and is still in draft status.

I cannot login with the user 'fedora'. I'm connected to the console (it is a 
CloudStack  cloud), and have tried all combinations of ec2-user/fedora 
/passwords/without-passwords.

I also have tried in a local KVM vm, but cannot login.
These are the images I have used:

Fedora-x86_64-20-Beta-TC6-20131026-sda.qcow2
Fedora-x86_64-20-Beta-20131106-sda.qcow2

Should I report a bug or I am missing something?

Is this documented anywhere prominently?

There is none -- as you've discovered, that's created by cloud-init.

See http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

If you are running the cloud image locally, you will need to either provide
a "fake" ec2 metadata service -- see https://gist.github.com/smoser/1278651
for one example -- or use the "nocloud" data source to provide files via an
attached vfat or iso filesystem. Docs for the latter are at 
http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/datasources.html#no-cloud.
