16:16 <blackboxsw> Heya Chris!

16:16 <blackboxsw> Welcome to another cloud-init community status meeting folks.

16:17 * blackboxsw finally back from a much needed vacation and have dug myself out of backlog

16:17 <blackboxsw> #chair rharper

16:17 <meetingology> Current chairs: blackboxsw rharper

16:18 <blackboxsw> cloud-init upstream uses this meeting as a platform for community updates, feature/bug discussions, and an opportunity to get some extra input on current development.

16:18 <blackboxsw> All interjections updates and questions welcome

16:18 <blackboxsw> we may be a bit light this meeting as well as some folks have holidays and travel that coincide with this meeting

16:19 <blackboxsw> our format is the following topics: Previous Actions, Recent Changes, In-progress Development, Office Hours

16:19 <blackboxsw> we host the meeting every two weeks at the date and time indicated in the IRC channel topic ^

16:19 <blackboxsw> I'll update that topic now as I think we forgot to last meeting

16:19 <blackboxsw> #topic #cloud-init Reviews: http://bit.ly/ci-reviews | Meeting minutes: https://goo.gl/mrHdaj | Next status meeting Aug 19 16:15 UTC | cloud-init v 19.2 (07/17) | https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+filebu

16:20 <blackboxsw> next meeting will be two weeks from today, same time

16:20 <blackboxsw> #topic Previous Actions

16:20 <blackboxsw> #link https://cloud-init.github.io/status-2019-07-22.html#status-2019-07-22

16:20 <blackboxsw> groking the meeting last episode, looks like rharper needed to update status on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1832381

16:20 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1832381 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "vm fails to boot due to conflicting network configuration when user switches from netplan to eni" [Undecided,Incomplete]

16:21 <blackboxsw> I think we were awaiting feedback there from AnvoMSFT for a specific reproduce

16:21 <blackboxsw> I think we were awaiting feedback there from AnvoMSFT for a specific reproducer

16:21 <blackboxsw> so that'll carryover til next meeting if if it a priority

16:22 <blackboxsw> the other action from last session was for rharper to ping me on status publishing to github.

16:22 <blackboxsw> I've pushed meeting minutes from last two cloud-init status meetings up to cloud-init.github.io so we are closed there

16:22 <blackboxsw> no other actions seen

16:23 <blackboxsw> #topic In-Progress Development

16:24 <blackboxsw> Upstream 19.2 was cut on 7/17 and there are plans to SRU cloud-init within the next week or two into Xenial, bionic, disco and Eaon. I know that we are waiting on closure of a few branches in tip before we SRU cloud-init tip to Xenial ++

16:24 <blackboxsw> tribaal: your exoscale branch I believe is one of the ones we want landed before we start our SRU process

16:24 <tribaal> I was hoping to address Odd_Bloke 's comments today, but that didn't happen. Tomorrow, or "this week" at the very least is my new target.

16:24 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~tribaal/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/369516

16:25 <tribaal> Most of the non-blocking comments should be easy - I want to double check the on-reboot behavior on an actual instance though

16:25 <blackboxsw> tribaal: excellent, Odd_Bloke was able to get the review in Friday as he knew he'd be on holiday today and wanted to get you feedback

16:25 <tribaal> ack

16:26 <tribaal> (the blocking comment about the copyright header should be trivial as well thankfully :) )

16:26 <blackboxsw> yeah agreed

16:26 <blackboxsw> we also have the following branches we'd like to get "in" and merged to tip before SRU

16:26 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~daniel-thewatkins/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/370927 (doc updates)

16:27 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~vtqanh/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/369785 (Azure telemetry)

16:28 <blackboxsw> and some of goneri's FreeBSD support look like they are straight forward for review/landing

16:28 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~goneri/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/368507

16:28 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~goneri/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/365641

16:29 <blackboxsw> If anyone else out there today is interested in getting reviews/merges before we SRU to Xenial, please feel free to raise a request in channel here or on the mailing list.

16:31 <blackboxsw> Also in progress, I just drew up a minispec for DataSourceOVF so that VMware can support merging configuration sources from IMC and OVF if both are present. This allows OVF datasource to configure both static IP config as well as do ssh user imports (which was previously not possible)

16:31 <blackboxsw> As always, our in progress development generally will also be represented on trello

16:31 <blackboxsw> #topic Recent Changes

16:32 <blackboxsw> the following has landed in tip of master since last cloud-init status meeting

16:32 <blackboxsw> % git log --oneline --since 2019-07-22

16:33 <blackboxsw> - net/cmdline: split interfaces_by_mac and init network config

16:33 <blackboxsw> determination [Daniel Watkins]

16:33 <blackboxsw> - stages: allow data sources to override network config source order

16:33 <blackboxsw> [Daniel Watkins]

16:33 <blackboxsw> #topic Office Hours (next ~30 mins)

16:34 <blackboxsw> feel free to ask for help, reviews, discussions on any cloud-init items you're looking at. Otherwise I'll spend some time today getting through the review queue for cloud-init branches.

16:34 <blackboxsw> and doing some bug triage

16:34 <blackboxsw> thanks tribaal for jumping in BTW.

16:35 <tribaal> blackboxsw: my pleasure :)

16:36 <tribaal> I'm working on the review points in parallel during office hours as well, that should move things forward hopefully.

16:36 <blackboxsw> excellent just ping when ready this week and we'll give a quick pass.

16:46 <cyphermox> blackboxsw: yeah, I'm not sure about that eni/netplan conflict; you do need to remove old config from one to the other, otherwise they might fight, but not something I'd expect to break boot.

16:47 <blackboxsw> hiya cyphermox. agreed, I think we decided that cloud-init needed to be smart in the transition from netplan ->` eni if someone does that on a system and cloud-init can warn about the behavior change, cleanup old netplan config and render eni in that case.

16:48 <blackboxsw> since cloud-init should be smart enough to know what it '

16:48 <blackboxsw> used to render

16:49 <cyphermox> ack

16:49 <cyphermox> yeah, now that I think of it we said the exact same thing last meeting, I think

16:51 <blackboxsw> +1, I'm just dusting the vacation cobwebs off. so didn't know if something else happened on that front last week

16:52 <cyphermox> well, I recall the convo, that's what I meant

17:06 <blackboxsw> I think that about wraps cloud-init status meeting for today folks. Thanks again. And drop us a line on the mailing list (cloud-init@lists.launchpad.net) or here in IRC anytime with questions/discussions.

17:06 <blackboxsw> #endmeeting
