Public bug reported: currently cloud-init is using static instance-id for azure. we ave access to the sharedconfig.xml file now, which seems like it might have a "real" instance id.
It looks like useful instance id might be: <ServiceInstance name="15a5261e1eb8429aa5f1a127bb17af1f.0" guid="{8937503e-0229-46b9-b107-3da2e03f69e2}" /> ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: cloud-init 0.7.3~bzr829-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 3.10.0-4.13-generic 3.10.1 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-4-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.11-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Jul 23 17:06:00 2013 MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=screen PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: cloud-init UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug saucy uec-images ** Attachment added: "sharedconfig.xml example" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1204190/+attachment/3746672/+files/SharedConfig.xml ** Also affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1204190 Title: azure: use non-static instance-id To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1204190/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
