ninjarobot/FsCloudInit

FsCloudInit is an F\# library that generates cloud-init configuration files for infrastructure provisioning. It provides a builder-based API to define directives such as package installation, file management, repository setup, and user configuration, serializing them into valid YAML. The system is designed to integrate with tools like Farmer for deploying virtual machines, as demonstrated by included examples for Azure VM setup.

FsCloudInit now supports a broader range of cloud-init directives, including Yum repository configuration, file permissions, deferred file writes, gzip-compressed content, and snap commands. New F\# builder syntax (WriteFileBuilder, AptSourceBuilder, YumRepoBuilder) simplifies constructing these configurations, while the underlying data models have been updated to include fields like Permissions, Append, Defer, and GzipBase64 encoding. The serialization logic has also been adjusted to serialize the ConfigModel property directly.

FsCloudInit · high confidence

Added a new interactive notebook that demonstrates how to use the Farmer and FsCloudInit libraries to define and deploy an Azure Virtual Machine. The notebook includes a complete example of configuring cloud-init to install the .NET SDK, deploy an ASP.NET Core MVC application via a bootstrap script, and manage the app as a systemd service.

Added comprehensive tests for the FsCloudInit library's configuration generation capabilities, including package installation (with specific versions), file embedding (plain, gzipped, and with permissions/defer), APT and YUM repository setup, hostname configuration, final messages, power state management, command execution, and user creation. The test suite now validates generated YAML against expected files and includes cross-architecture fixes for gzip handling.

FsCloudInitTests · high confidence

The FsCloudInit library has changed its target framework from .NET 5.0 to .NET Standard 2.0, allowing it to run on a wider range of .NET implementations. This change is accompanied by an update to YamlDotNet from version 9.1.4 to 12.0.0 and the explicit pinning of FSharp.Core to version 5.0.0. Additionally, the NuGet package metadata has been enriched with author, copyright, description, and repository details, and the package now includes the LICENSE and README.md files. The test project has been upgraded to .NET 10.0, with Expecto updated to 10.2.3, YoloDev.Expecto.TestSdk to 0.15.5, and Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk to 18.0.1.
