To manage the lifecycle of containers within a Kubernetes cluster

To provide a real-time monitoring dashboard for running instances

To automate the initial setup and configuration of an instance on first boot

An administrator is provisioning a VM with cloud-init. They need to create a new partition on an additional disk and mount it at /data. The disk is /dev/vdb. Which cloud-init configuration should they use?

write_files: - path: /etc/fstab, content: '/dev/vdb /data ext4 defaults 0 0'

fs_setup: - device: /dev/vdb, filesystem: ext4, mounts: - [/dev/vdb, /data]

runcmd: [mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb, mount /dev/vdb /data]

disk_setup: /dev/vdb: table_type: mbr, layout: true, fs_setup: - device: /dev/vdb1, filesystem: ext4, mounts: - [/dev/vdb1, /data]
