Rbx Cloud
=========

The Rbx datasource consumes the metadata drive available on platform
`HyperOne`_ and `Rootbox`_ platform.

Datasource supports, in particular, network configurations, hostname,
user accounts and user metadata.

Metadata drive
--------------

Drive metadata is a `FAT`_-formatted partition with the ```CLOUDMD```  or
```cloudmd``` label on the system disk. Its contents are refreshed each time
the virtual machine is restarted, if the partition exists. For more information
see `HyperOne Virtual Machine docs`_.
