Dear release team,
tl;dr: if not using a DHCP to boot VMs, cloud-init would get the DNS
addresses from the configdrive, which only works if resolvconf is
installed. The attached patch fixes this.
I'd like to add the "resolvconf" package to the official Debian OpenStack
image for Buster. Doing so is done by simply adding the package to the list
in openstack-debian-images/1.36. See attached debdiff. Once the package
reaches Buster, the new OpenStack image will include resolv.conf. Hopefully,
I can ask Steve to use the updated openstack-debian-images/1.36+deb10u1
before openstack-debian-images moves from proposed-updates to Buster.
Rational for fixing this can be found here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1850310
and in this debian-cloud thread (not only the first message, but also
the follow-ups):
https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2020/05/msg00086.html
Also, the launchpad bug above mention tests from multiple people, which
is why it feels like a safe change.
Since I don't think a DHCP-less cloud system is uncommon, it'd be really
nice to fix this (by adding the resolvconf package in the default
OpenStack image, which implies fixing the openstack-debian-images in
Buster).
Your thoughts?
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Subject: [PATCH] * Add the resolvconf if installing cloud-init, needed in
case a VM gets the DNS configuration from configdrive instead of DHCP.
