It generates configurations files to be used by other resources. 14 15 Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources. 16 17 ## Example Usage 18 19 This config will write a single service unit (shown below) with the contents of an example service. This unit will be enabled as a dependency of multi-user.target and therefore start on boot 20 21 ``` 22 # Systemd unit data resource containing the unit definition 23 data "ignition_systemd_unit" "example" { 24 name = "example.service" 25 content = "[Service]\nType=oneshot\nExecStart=/usr/bin/echo Hello World\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target" 26 } 27 28 # Ingnition config include the previous defined systemd unit data resource 29 data "ignition_config" "example" { 30 systemd = [ 31 "${data.ignition_systemd_unit.example.id}", 32 ] 33 } 34 35 # Create a CoreOS server using the Igntion config. 36 resource "aws_instance" "web" { 37 # ... 38 39 user_data = "${data.ignition_config.example.rendered}" 40 } 41 ```
