Test 14 Using DHCP
1- Install a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 Server
2- run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
3- install Cloud init
4- if any delete /var/log/cloud-ini* from the VM before shutting it down and
converting it to a template
5- run dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init and only select OVF only.
6- run
Anyone can take a look .. if there was a training class for cloud-init
online i would take it. documentation also doesn't talk about the
process flow or show end to end examples. just cloud config syntax
example. its like here the code go figure it out!! very frustrating.

Title:
VMware Guest OS
hi Ryan . thank you for taking the time.
this is a VMware Ubuntu 16.04 VM that later used as a template where we
installed cloud-init top . as we prepare the template we do reboot the
VM after .. i normally delete the cloud-init* logs from /var/log and
maybe i didn't here... unless there is a
i guessing based on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1793715
i can't really disable cloud-init cause i need to execute the cloud config code
that I'm pushing when i m provisioning the VM.. this leaves me that i need to
set cloud-init to do the customization here .
Hi Ryan
With the automation tool we are using we are passing the cloud config
user data information via an attached ISO via the vm CD-ROM .. should
using dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init command to select only OVF as a data
source should be enough in this case since we are only provision to
VMware

Thanks Joshua .. thats pretty much it.
so at all times if i need to use Cloud Config / User data i must use
cloud-init as well to do the customize instead of Perl . the problem is
when i do that i have no network, no IP, no updated hostname update and
of course no connectivity for anything to
