Public bug reported:
I discussed this issue during the 'cloud-init' summit that happened in
August 2017. Logging a bug for tracking purposes. Today, there is no way
for datasources to get notified about success / failure when cloud-init
finishes executing.
Following is an example:
> From cloudinit/sources/DataSourceOVF.py
# TODO: Need to set the status to DONE only when the
# customization is done successfully.
enable_nics(self._vmware_nics_to_enable)
set_customization_status(
GuestCustStateEnum.GUESTCUST_STATE_DONE,
GuestCustErrorEnum.GUESTCUST_ERROR_SUCCESS)
Ideally, the datasourceOVF wants to get notified when the cloud-init
finally completes. Then, the datasource needs to send success / failure
events to the underlying hypervisor. But today the mechanism / framework
is not available. So, the datasourceOVF just blindly returns SUCCESS to
the hypervisor without even waiting for the completion.
We really really need a better framework / mechanism to handle
situations like this. Please do let me know if any information is
requried.
Thanks
Sankar.
