After discussion on this bug, we've decided the best approach for cloud- init in the short term is to extend the OVF datasource to allow for setting datasource configuration options to allow merging from both VMWare IMC data and OVF user-data.
Such configuration would be provided in /etc/cloud/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_somename.cfg Datasource: OVF: mergemetadata: true|false # If true, merge metadata from any DataSourceOVF-supported source mergeorder: [ovf, vmware-tools] The mergeorder above says that any vmware-tools(IMC) metadata will override any discovered duplicate configuration keys found in ovf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806133 Title: OVF does not read user-data if vmware IMC is used.
