I need help on adding a new bistro to cloud-init

 

Hi All,

Hope you all are doing well.
I am interested in contributing to cloud-init and I submitted one minor documentation fix to cloud-init sometime back.
I work on VMware’s open source OS Photon - https://vmware.github.io/photon/assets/files/html/3.0/Introduction.html<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvmware.github.io%2Fphoton%2Fassets%2Ffiles%2Fhtml%2F3.0%2FIntroduction.html&data=04%7C01%7Csshedi%40vmware.com%7C2309571f98474438671608d91b9c122b%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C1%7C637571179408014952%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=6ssraHkblhnUgZs4IJ3FF1UZLulD6txBXf4fokCg%2FYc%3D&reserved=0>
We have our own distro specific things and we have https://github.com/vmware/photon/blob/dev/SPECS/cloud-init/photon-distro.patch<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvmware%2Fphoton%2Fblob%2Fdev%2FSPECS%2Fcloud-init%2Fphoton-distro.patch&data=04%7C01%7Csshedi%40vmware.com%7C2309571f98474438671608d91b9c122b%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C1%7C637571179408014952%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=IS3YiKzE258Dp2ce6EUkJgkH66gkvcntAkdkeFIARIg%3D&reserved=0>
And using this patch in our spec file.

I want to make it a part of upstream cloud-init and would like to know how can I get started in this regard.
What are the tests I need to add, how can I test my changes in my local build machine and so on.

Appreciate any kind of help in this regard.
