16:22 <blackboxsw> hi folks, now marks a 20 minute belated cloud-init status meeting, an opportunity to chat about current and future cloud-init happenings.

16:22 <blackboxsw> Today's meeting will go through the typical topics: Previous Actions, Recent Changes, In-progress development and Office hours

16:22 <blackboxsw> #topic Previous Actions

16:23 <blackboxsw> Looking over our last meeting minutes, we had a single action

16:23 <blackboxsw> #link https://cloud-init.github.io/status-2018-10-15.html#status-2018-10-15

16:24 <blackboxsw> #action Sort and review azure RHEL branch related to ephemeral dhcp handling of dhclient https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1794399

16:24 * meetingology Sort and review azure RHEL branch related to ephemeral dhcp handling of dhclient https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1794399

16:24 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1794399 in cloud-init "cloud-init dhcp_discovery() crashes on preprovisioned RHEL 7.6 VM in Azure" [Undecided,New]

16:25 <blackboxsw> the meeting later showed us we didn't really have a branch referencing that bug, looks like paulmey was able to follow up there to tie the related branch to the bug. So we have something to review now

16:27 <blackboxsw> So looks like this is a carryover from last meeting, thanks Paul for tying the branch to this bug so we have something to review related to it. The branch is currently waiting on review feedback from cloud-init upstream. So, I'll pull it in for us to review this week

16:27 <blackboxsw> #action blackboxsw, rharper smoser a review on https://code.launchpad.net/~jasonzio/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/357427 before next status meeting for Azure dhcp.

16:28 <blackboxsw> #topic Recent Changes

16:29 <blackboxsw> over the last week, a number of us have been travelling at either planning meetings for cloud-init or the OpenSource Summit in Europe.

16:29 <blackboxsw> #link https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-europe-2018/

16:30 <blackboxsw> The cloud-init talk had a pretty good turn out at OSS EU. I think we had ~ 100 people in attendance and some good questions about potential support of the following:

16:31 <blackboxsw> - Ansible and CFEgine config module support in cloud-initt

16:32 <blackboxsw> - better netplan config use-case handling

16:33 <blackboxsw> - better vmware integration as well as a request for proxmox (opensource alternative to vmware?) support

16:34 <blackboxsw> thanks smoser for a job well done on that talk.

16:35 <blackboxsw> beyond the conference highlight, cloud-init tip is being published to Xenial and Bionic on Ubuntu.

16:36 <blackboxsw> Expect to see updates published in today's images that will handle template-support for #cloud-config and user-data scripts and generalized instance-data.json on most recent Ubuntu releases.

16:36 <blackboxsw> tip of cloud-init has seen the following changes merged:

16:36 <blackboxsw> - instance-data: fallback to instance-data.json if sensitive is absent.

16:36 <blackboxsw> (LP: #1798189)

16:36 <blackboxsw> - docs: remove colon from network v1 config example. [Tomer Cohen]

16:36 <blackboxsw> - Add cloud-id binary to packages for SUSE [Jason Zions]

16:36 <blackboxsw> - systemd: On SUSE ensure cloud-init.service runs before wicked

16:36 <blackboxsw> [Robert Schweikert] (LP: #1799709)

16:36 <blackboxsw> - update detection of openSUSE variants [Robert Schweikert]

16:36 <blackboxsw> - azure: Add apply_network_config option to disable network from IMDS

16:36 <blackboxsw> (LP: #1798424)

16:36 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1798189 in cloud-init "cloud-init query: /run/cloud/instance-data-sensitive.json not generated on upgrade" [Medium,Fix committed]

16:36 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1799709 in cloud-init "service order is incorrect for SUSE distros" [Undecided,Fix committed]

16:36 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1798424 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "Xenial Azure: Make generation of network config from IMDS hotplug scripts configurable opt-in" [Undecided,New]

16:37 <blackboxsw> Thanks robjo for the commitment to keeping SuSE up to date and fully functional with cloud-init.

16:38 <blackboxsw> And thanks Jason and Tomer for the contributions to packaging and docs as well

16:38 <blackboxsw> Think that about wraps Recent Changes topic....

16:38 <blackboxsw> #topic In-Progress Development

16:39 <blackboxsw> Check out trello board for a prioritized order of what upstream is working

16:39 <blackboxsw> #link https://trello.com/b/hFtWKUn3/daily-cloud-init-curtin

16:41 <blackboxsw> There are a couple of community branches in the wings that we'll get reviews on and shepherd into cloud-init proper. Azure has some work to increase efficiency of the detection and reporting during initial boot.

16:42 <blackboxsw> smoser is working on supplemental work with meena to handle platform-specializing our cloudinit.net module.

16:43 <blackboxsw> and I think we have a couple of branches pulled together for legacy centos6 build support and supporting Azure Gen2 vms.

16:43 <blackboxsw> We'll keep the trello board updated as big items come down the pipeline for us.

16:44 <blackboxsw> #topic Office hours (next ~30 mins)

16:44 <blackboxsw> so eyes will float on this channel a bit for any questions, concerns, bugs or features.

16:45 <blackboxsw> thanks again for your time and contributions folks.

17:09 <blackboxsw> alright. guess I'll call it wrap for this meeting. You can tune in to minutes on published github to browse any content that has been discussed at previous status meetings.
