Public bug reported: In Ubuntu artful, cloud-init renders network configuration through netplan. This means that there is no dhclient and thus no /var/lib/dhclient/*.leases.
Azure and CloudStack both are reading those leases file to get useful information about the platform. Specifically: * Azure reads option-245 from the dhclient response to find the IP address of the metadata service. * CloudStack reads the 'dhcp-server-identifier' option in the dhclient response to get the address of the virtual router (metadata service). [1] In ubuntu this happens to be done with systemd-networkd, so cloud-init can possibly probably interact over the dbus with systemd-networkd to get information. However that is less than ideal, as ultimately cloud- init should not need to know that it systemd-networkd is involved. It should be hidden via netplan. So there should be an interface to get current networking configuratoin information from netplan including dhcp lease response info. -- [1] http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/4.8/virtual_machines/user-data.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: cloud-init 0.7.9-280-ge626966e-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.12.0-11.12-generic 4.12.5 Uname: Linux 4.12.0-11-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CloudName: Amazon - Ec2 Date: Mon Sep 18 19:56:40 2017 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=C.UTF-8 SourcePackage: cloud-init UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) user_data.txt: #cloud-config {} ** Affects: netplan Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical Status: Confirmed ** Affects: nplan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug artful uec-images ** Also affects: nplan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: netplan Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1718029 Title: cloudstack and azure datasources broken when using netplan/systemd- networkd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1718029/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
