07/22/2025, 1:07 PMHi Folks, we're trying to deploy RKE2 using the IONOS Cloud node driver https://github.com/ionos-cloud/docker-machine-driver/tree/master
Works perfectly fine with public nodes, however what we need are private-only nodes, to which Rancher will not have SSH access. We already deploy such, but using custom Terraform modules which bootstrap RKE with cloud-init. Using the driver, we get:

suggesting that possibly the machine driver needs to implement the right flags for the detection of cloud init capability to happen?

Copy code
#cloud-config
merge_how:
- name: list
settings: [replace]
- name: dict
