location

This Module is used to create satellite location and generate attach host script.

This module creates satellite location for the specified zone|location|region and generates script named addhost.sh in the home directory by performing attach host.The generated script is used by ibm_is_instance resource or AWS EC2 module as user_data attribute and runs the script. At this stage all the VMs that has run addhost.sh will be attached to the satellite location and will be in unassigned state.
