Bug description:
[Impact]
* Per documentation at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleComputeEngineSSHKeys ssh keys for
cloudinit and ubuntu users should both be added to the 'ubuntu' users
authorized_keys file.
* This works fine in Xenial (16.04) and higher, but doesn't work for
Trusty (14.04).
[Test Case]
* Create a file that contains ssh public keys
$ cat googlekeys
test:ssh-rsa <one example key> [email protected]
ubuntu:ssh-rsa <a second example key> [email protected]
cloudinit:ssh-rsa <a third example key> [email protected]
* Create an ubuntu 14.04 instance
gcloud compute instances create ubuntu1404cloudinit --image-family
ubuntu-1404-lts --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud
--metadata-from-file=ssh-keys=googlekeys --metadata=block-project-ssh-keys=True
* Create an ubuntu 16.04 instance
gcloud compute instances create ubuntu1604cloudinit --image-family
ubuntu-1604-lts --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud
--metadata-from-file=ssh-keys=googlekeys --metadata=block-project-ssh-keys=True
* Notice that the ubuntu user in the ubuntu 14.04 instance contains no keys
from cloud-init (the keys there are added by the google daemon):
$ sudo cat /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
# Added by Google
ssh-rsa <the second example key but added by google daemon>
[email protected]
* However, in 16.04,
$ sudo cat /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh-rsa <the third example key added by cloud-init> [email protected]
ssh-rsa <the second example key added by cloud-init> [email protected]
# Added by Google
ssh-rsa <the second example key added by the google daemon>
[email protected]
[Regression Potential]
* DatasourceGCE.py is heavily modified to fix this behavior in 14.04.
That said, there is a medium amount of regression potential when using
the GCE datasource. More specificallly, there is now stricter checking
of the metadata source when used(platform_check=True).
* Significant testing has been completed via the Google Compute
platform as well as other none-GCE datasources (lxd) to confirm
functionality and to test for possible regressions.
