I believe this should be marked as fixed as the uses_systemd function was updated previous:
https://github.com/cloud-init/cloud- init/blob/master/cloudinit/distros/__init__.py#L100 ** Changed in: cloud-init Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1411829 Title: CentOS 7 should be treated like RHEL 7 in dist/rhel.py Status in cloud-init: Fix Released Bug description: cloudinit/dists/rhel.py contains the follow code to determine if systemd is in use: def uses_systemd(self): # Fedora 18 and RHEL 7 were the first adopters in their series (dist, vers) = util.system_info()['dist'][:2] major = (int)(vers.split('.')[0]) return ((dist.startswith('Red Hat Enterprise Linux') and major >= 7) or (dist.startswith('Fedora') and major >= 18)) This will not produce the correct behavior on CentOS 7, Scientific LInux 7, or any other RHEL-based distribution. Among other issues, this will prevent cloud-init from setting the system hostname correctly. Because these distributions are treated like RHEL6 and earlier, cloud-init writes the persistent hostname into /etc/sysconfig/network, but the hostname is not read from this file when the system boots. I propose that we replace uses_systemd with the following: def uses_systemd(self): return os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/systemctl') To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1411829/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
