network-data-output-type

A map of ssh public keys to install for the root user

The template network-data-parser.tmpl parses the network-data structure in a consistent manner and set of rules. To reuse the parsing rules, include the template in to other templates. Since golang templating can't pass variables from an included template in to the scope of the operating template, we must rely on the scripted language Varaible definitions.

Setting this Param to one of the supported types, will tell the network-data-parser.tmpl to generate the correct Variable references for the targeted scripting language. Supported scripted languages are:

  • shell = Shell (BASH, SH, ZSH, BusyBox, ASH, ESXi Shell, etc)
  • powershell = PowerShell
  • python = Python (2 and 3 compatible)

If the shell environment type does not support the declare function, it is assumed that Arrays are not supported either. In this case, the Associative Array and related debug (if requested) statements will not be generated in the template. This is necessary to support environments like VMware ESXi BusyBox/ASH shells.

The default value shell (BASH, SH, BusyBox, ASH, etc).
