Public bug reported: When using a "valid" #cloud-config yaml file passed in via the user-data service. Even though the file is valid, correct, and accessible via the meta-data URL - cloud-config on RHEL8 will not read it/read it incorrectly and therefore not process that file.
Passing the exact same #cloud-config file into a RHEL7 image causes it to work just fine. Technical Specs: Working Server: RHEL 7.8 [root@rhel7-test-hen ~]# uname -r 3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64 [root@rhel7-test-hen ~]# rpm -qa | grep cloud-init cloud-init-18.5-3.el7.x86_64 Non-Working Server: RHEL 8.2 [root@rhel8-base ~]# uname -r 4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 [root@rhel8-base ~]# rpm -qa | grep cloud-init cloud-init-18.5-12.el8_2.2.noarch Pastebin with specifics/commands/output: https://pastebin.com/1igasWkr The pastebin has details/info to reproduce this, but i can reproduce it 100% consistently by attaching the same user-data (see pastebin) via user-data. I can see it, pull it, hash it, its the same, its accessible, and its usable. RHEL8 doesn't parse/proces it, RHEL7 does. As a last resort i just did the following in the RHEL8 server: - Confirmed it was up - Confirmed networking was fine/working - Confirmed i could curl the user-data file from metadata service correctly - rm -rf /var/lib/cloud/instance - cloud-init init - cloud-init start After doing this: - /var/lib/cloud/instance/user-data.txt file was recreated (new date stamp) - but still incorrect (matches pastebin data) - /var/lib/cloud/instance/user-data.txt.I file was recreated (new date stamp) - but still incorrect (matches pastebin data) [root@rhel8-base log]# ls -al /var/lib/cloud/instance/ | grep user-data -rw-------. 1 root root 0 Jul 6 09:17 user-data.txt -rw-------. 1 root root 308 Jul 6 09:17 user-data.txt.i ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "cloud-init.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886428/+attachment/5390200/+files/cloud-init.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
