16:06 <blackboxsw> hi folks, just kicking off another cloud-init status meeting to communicate the recent events in cloud-init land.

16:06 <blackboxsw> welcome to all, feel free to interrupt as we go through the agenda. As always cloud-init status minutes will live at the following url

16:07 <blackboxsw> #link https://cloud-init.github.io/

16:07 <blackboxsw> The meeting agenda is as follows:

16:08 <blackboxsw> agenda: Previous Actions, Recent Changes, In-progress develepment and office hours (~30 minutes)

16:09 <blackboxsw> #topic Previous Actions

16:09 <blackboxsw> Last meeting we have a couple of actions to look over:

16:10 <blackboxsw> #ACTION blackboxsw carryover network hotplug vs network maintenance on reboot-only

16:10 <blackboxsw> #ACTION blackboxsw carryover network hotplug vs network maintenance on reboot-only [DONE]

16:11 <blackboxsw> we held multiple meetings, including discussion with mgerdts on a SmartOS solution for handling regenerating network configuration per-boot when a user selects this behavior

16:12 <blackboxsw> We have just landed a supporting branch in cloud-init tip to enable datasources to define what events (BOOT vs BOOT_NEW_INSTANCE) they will react to when generating network config.

16:12 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~chad.smith/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/348000

16:13 <blackboxsw> that should give a foundation for other datasources to write/change network config across boots, instead of allowing network config to remain static based on cloud-init's initial network configuration

16:13 <blackboxsw> the 2nd action ..

16:14 <blackboxsw> #ACTION haper/blackboxsw review https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/333904 [CARRYOVER]

16:14 * meetingology haper/blackboxsw review https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/333904 [CARRYOVER]

16:14 <blackboxsw> I'd like to carry this one over. We got a bit bogged down in SRU, CentOs stuff last week and we shold be able to get some eyes on this branch

16:14 <blackboxsw> I think that's it for actions.

16:16 <blackboxsw> Below is a list of changes landed in cloud-init tip or package publishing that has occured for the project:

16:16 <blackboxsw> * our 18.3 release was cut from tip if you caught the email on that mailing list

16:16 <blackboxsw> Congrats all for a great effort at improving quality and adding more datasource/cloud support

16:17 <blackboxsw> ^ in case you didn't get the message

16:18 <blackboxsw> published*

16:21 <blackboxsw> next topic

16:21 <blackboxsw> #topic In-progress Development

16:22 <blackboxsw> Our ongoing development is always listed publicly at the following trello board

16:22 <blackboxsw> #link https://trello.com/b/hFtWKUn3/daily-cloud-init-curtin

16:23 <blackboxsw> We are going to be focused on SRU validation for Ubuntu this week which should take up the majority of the week.

16:23 <blackboxsw> At the end of this SRU process we will also rebuild centos binaries in our copr repo

16:23 <blackboxsw> #link https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/cloud-init/el-testing/

16:24 <blackboxsw> so that folks in other envs will have access to latest bits if their distro/cloud doesn't have that update

16:24 <blackboxsw> Also, specfic to mgerdts and danMS_ there is a branch in progress for Azure support to regenerate network-config for all interfaces on each boot.

16:25 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~chad.smith/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/348704

16:25 <blackboxsw> mgerdts: might like it only as another example of a datasource managing network config across boots

16:26 <mgerdts> Thanks. Will look at that soon.

16:26 <blackboxsw> no prob, sorry for all the pings :)

16:26 <danMS_> will take a look too and spk to paulmey

16:27 <blackboxsw> also smoser is working on implementing an OCIC datasource (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic)

16:31 <blackboxsw> think that wraps it up for this week.

16:31 <blackboxsw> #topic Office Hours (next ~30 mins)

16:31 <blackboxsw> there should be a couple of eyes on this channel for discusssions, questions, bug requests etc that might need a bit more attention.

16:33 <blackboxsw> again, thanks for tuning in and helping make cloud-init better!

16:33 <blackboxsw> meeting minutes will ultimately show at
