Is there a correct value to use in the Cloud Config YAML so that my Rancher provisioned vpshere VM gets the correct hostname? I’ve tried something like

local-hostname: {name}

and

hostname: {name}

in the cloud-config, and this seems to work as Rancher somehow knows to set the node name to whatever it’s being provisioned with, however my provisioned systems cloud-config gets a value that looks like:

local-hostname:
    name: null

or

hostname:
    name: null

The cloud-config field in node/pool templates are for userdata. Rancher will automatically generate the cloud-config data for each node to set the hostname
