Yup, I think I see it. U are wanting git to be installed via the packages module, except the cloud.cfg u have (or the one that is provided by default) doesn't include the package installation module.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/config/cloud.cfg#L53 - package-update-upgrade-install I don't see this module in your cloud.cfg file (so that would likely be why its not getting installed). U can try adding it (by either replacing the cloud_config_modules: with a new modified section) and see if it happens then. -Josh From: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, March 28, 2014 at 1:49 PM To: Joshua Harlow <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [Cloud-init] Cloud-init not installing rpms (CentOS 6.5) Cool. :) The cloud-init.log file: http://fpaste.org/89642/39603956/ The cloud.cfg file: http://fpaste.org/89644/60397241/ Anything stand out?

Using #cloud-config, passed to it via config-drive. Passing the #cloud-config file itself seems to work, as runcmd thing work. Anything in "packages" isn't though. eg (keeping it simple) this very simple config should install git, then print a "complete" message to a file in /tmp: **************************************************** #cloud-config packages: - git runcmd: - echo 'complete' >> /tmp/my-cloud-config.log **************************************************** The "complete" string is being written to the file in /tmp correctly. But no "git" being installed, and no mention of git anywhere in /var/log/cloud-init.log. This is using cloud-init-0.7.4-2.el6.noarch. Anyone have ideas on what I should check next, to find out what's happening? Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
