> Why is isc-dhcp-client not recommended? It's not a matter of recommendation, it's that it plain doesn't work. This has been with bootstrap-vz from waaay back when camptocamp used to maintain ec2debian-build-ami (commit <https://github.com/camptocamp/build-debian-cloud/commit/2e5e8866484d6a039efb3c7ff225f1fadffbec58#diff-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e> by Christian Kaenzig). I successfully verified this a year ago. You are welcom to try running it with isc-dhcp-client, if it works with jessie I'll gladly accept a PR fixing it. Anders
