GCE monolithic snap for Ubuntu Core

Provides a subset of Google Cloud's guest-agent functionality for Ubuntu Core's strict-confinement architecture

What's included:

  • Metadata server polling
  • Startup script execution (sandboxed)
  • Hostname management
  • ssh authorized_keys sync onto one fixed, pre-existing account (ubuntu) via the golang ssh-key-sync helper. This is not technically user creation and nor is it OSLogin; it writes one declared file for one account that already exists.

What's not included (i.e. not achievable on Core):

  • OSLogin (The PAM && NSS modules need to live in the base snap)
  • Dynamic creation of arbitrary users via metadata
  • osconfig style patch management (Core does not have apt or .debs)
  • guest-configs udev/sysctl/systemd unit files (could hypothetically be delivered via the gadget snap instead)
