Performing the hostname_bounce on first-boot only would actually break the instance in two cases instance on shutdown/startup as the VIP is released on instance shutdown. When the user restarts the instance, it would be given a new VIP, but keep the instance ID. In this case, scoping the hostname_bounce to per-instance would result in instances that never come back.
I agree that this not ideal, but the implementation of the VIP requires either that the hostname has to match the fabric name, or DHCP has to be configured. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~utlemming/cloud-init/lp1375252/+merge/247494 Your team cloud init development team is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~utlemming/cloud-init/lp1375252 into lp:cloud-init. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
