I agree that Nova needs to be fixed but we need a cloud-init fix for the current Nova as well. As for running an API server on each compute node, I don't think that's a viable solution for our environment. We've modified memcached to cache the metadata requests and that seems to help make things faster.
I see your point about the metadata service not being ready in time. Do you know how long it can take for the service to become ready? How about a smarter sleeptime that always increases (linearly) from 1 to 20 secs (or some configurable upper limit)? sleeptime = int(19 * x / (sleeps - 1)) + 1 With that, the 5 retries would happen over a time of 51 secs (1, 5, 10, 15, 20 sec sleeps in between the 5 requests). -- 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/894279 Title: cloud-init fails to fetch metadata with OpenStack To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/894279/+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
