Thanks for the feedback.

As per the 'hostname' manpage: When called with one argument ..., the commands set the host name ... Note, that this is effective only until the next reboot. Edit /etc/hostname for permanent change. So that sounds like expected behaviour. :) Thanks, Dan -- 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/1375252 Title: [SRU] Hostname change is not preserved across reboot on Azure Ubuntu VMs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1375252/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
