I am using Foreman 1.6 and using AWS EC2 as compute resource.
Problem is, Foreman could not able to resolve the finish template when the
user-data of image is enabled. And, I could not able to provision the VM.
When user-date of image is* disabled, *foreman able to resolve the
finish-template and able to provision the vm (Without reading the template,
i.e puppet client installation).
Could you guide me where I am going wrong? Its been two week I am
struggling with this issue.
Thanks,
Sekhar

If your image has user-data enabled, you need to associate the
Operating system for that image with a Provisioning template of the
kind 'user-data'. Finish templates are only used for images that don't
have user-data enabled. You can alternatively turn off the user-data
flag for the image and it'll resolve the finish templates instead of
user-data (remember this won't use cloud-init or similar mechanisms).
I actually submitted a pull request a few days ago with this warning,
as I'm afraid it's not very clear:
Thanks for using Foreman!

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your reply.
For some reason foreman not resolving any templates other than finish
template.
I have the following scenarios:
If user-data is disabled then foreman is resolving finish template and
could able to provision VM ( But, without the packages on the finish
template. Since I have puppet module to get installed on the provisioning
VM, it requires puppet client ). So, this is not useful.
If user-data is enabled then foreman is not resolving any template ( Not
even finish template )
For some reason in scenario 1, foreman is not pulling the finish template.

Can't I install a puppet module with finish-template ?
Is user_data is compulsory to pull the template ( i.e reading the
template from foreman )?
Do you think I went wrong in my configuration?
Is it possible to provision VM (With template) with user-data disabled.

Is AMI causing a issue? I am using CentOS 6.5 Operating System. One more
thing is, I could not able to ssh to foreman server to provisioned VM and
vice versa.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your support.
I figured out that Foreman is provisioning RHEL 6.6 AMI ( Earlier I tried
with CentOS6.6, CentOS6.5 ). After going through the console output of the
Provisioned VM, I could say foreman has taken user-data template.
My new issue is:
The VM that got provisioned is unable to ssh to foreman machine ( Which has
also puppet-master, puppetmasterd is not running ). And also it has not
installed the puppet module ( Drupal Module ), it is throwing 400 Error.
My Assumptions:
Foreman hosted on CentOS 6.6 and user as 'root'. The VM got provisioned is
RHEL 6.6 and user as ec2-user.
*FOREMAN# ssh -i ***.pem ec2-user@<Private IP> Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
Even vice-versa has same problem.

That template looks right. What I'm afraid is your provisioning
template kind (where what you wrote above is stored) is not user_data,
or the OS is not associated with any user_data template.
Go to your provisioning template, when you click on the 'Type' tab, is
the type set to 'user_data'?
Go to your operating system, when you click on the 'Templates' tab, do
you see any 'user_data' template there? If not, you should first make
available your template to the OS and then go to that tab and set it
as the user_data template.
Hope that helps

Can't I install a puppet module with finish-template?
Installing packages through Puppet modules (I think this is what
you mean) is something that will happen after your finish-template
goes in.
Is user_data is compulsory to pull the template ( i.e reading the
template from foreman )?
I don't understand the question, user_data is pushed from Foreman to
the Compute Resource.
Do you think I went wrong in my configuration?
No, it's just fine. I haven't read your user_data template in detail
though. I'm not sure why your user_data didn't get in EC2, but it's
worth che
Is it possible to provision VM (With template) with user-data disabled.
Yes, but you need an external IP to which Foreman can connect to,
and a Smart Proxy with TFTP enabled. The advantage of user-data is
that you get to skip that and there is no need for the external IP.
There are some diagrams that Lukas Zapletal is going to add to the
docs soon, https://github.com/theforeman/theforeman.org/pull/333/files
, take a look at the 2 diagrams regarding Cloud-based provisioning if
you want to understand what is going on behind the scenes.
