Public bug reported: LP#1571004 made it so that networking is applied on the first boot of an instance. This makes sense in some cases, but not in others. In the case of Joyent's cloud, there is a need to support network reconfiguration on reboot.
The proposed approach is to add a new metadata key 'maintain_network'. This will default to False. When set to True, network settings will be applied PER_ALWAYS. SmartOS will begin to support the sdc:maintain_network key in its metadata service. The SmartOS change is being tracked at https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-6902 . ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Assignee: Mike Gerdts (mgerdts) Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: cloud-init Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: cloud-init Assignee: (unassigned) => Mike Gerdts (mgerdts) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
