wido opened a new issue #2872: Improve ConfigDrive to store network information URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/2872 ConfigDrive / cloud-init supports a *network_data.json* file which can contain network information for a VM. By providing the network information using ConfigDrive to a VM we can eliminate the need for DHCP and thus the Virtual Router in some use-cases. An example JSON file: <pre> { "links": [ { "ethernet_mac_address": "52:54:00:0d:bf:93", "id": "eth0", "mtu": 1500, "type": "phy" } ], "networks": [ { "id": "eth0", "ip_address": "192.168.200.200", "link": "eth0", "netmask": "255.255.255.0", "network_id": "dacd568d-5be6-4786-91fe-750c374b78b4", "routes": [ { "gateway": "192.168.200.1", "netmask": "0.0.0.0", "network": "0.0.0.0" } ], "type": "ipv4" }, { "id": "eth0", "ip_address": "2001:db8:100::1337", "link": "eth0", "netmask": "64", "network_id": "dacd568d-5be6-4786-91fe-750c374b78b4", "routes": [ { "gateway": "2001:db8:100::1", "netmask": "0", "network": "::" } ], "type": "ipv6" } ], "services": [ { "address": "8.8.8.8", "type": "dns" } ] } </pre> In Basic Networking and Advanced Networking zones which are using a shared network you wouldn't require a VR anymore.
