| evilissimo | alexpilotti: are you around? :) | 11:52 |
|---|---|---|
| alexpilotti | evilissimo: hey | 11:59 |
| evilissimo | alexpilotti: I was wondering what's the plan with cloudbase init for windows | 12:00 |
| alexpilotti | evilissimo: in what sense? :-) | 12:00 |
| evilissimo | I read somewhere, don't remember where exactly that you might want to get it into cloud-init | 12:00 |
| alexpilotti | true | 12:01 |
| evilissimo | is that still the plan? | 12:01 |
| alexpilotti | sure | 12:01 |
| alexpilotti | but it's shell of a work | 12:01 |
| evilissimo | kk, any help needed in that regard? | 12:01 |
| alexpilotti | *a hell of a | 12:01 |
| alexpilotti | definitely yes | 12:01 |
| evilissimo | To put things a bit into perspective | 12:01 |
| alexpilotti | cloud-init needs to be heavily refactored for that to happen | 12:01 |
| evilissimo | I am working for Red Hat | 12:02 |
| alexpilotti | I see | 12:02 |
| alexpilotti | are you coming to the summit in HK? | 12:02 |
| evilissimo | No, unfortunately not | 12:02 |
| evilissimo | Well I am working at the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization team, and I am mainly responsible for the Windows Guest Agent | 12:03 |
| evilissimo | which also means oVirt ;) | 12:03 |
| alexpilotti | that's interesting | 12:03 |
| evilissimo | So and we are thinking about introducing cloud-init as alternative to sysprep | 12:03 |
| alexpilotti | we should talk about the status of the virtio drivers :-) | 12:04 |
| evilissimo | hehe | 12:04 |
| evilissimo | we can talk about that, if there's anything I can pass along to the devs | 12:04 |
| alexpilotti | we are currently using a mix of sysprep + cloudinit | 12:04 |
| alexpilotti | sys prep takes care of generalisation and setting the user name | 12:05 |
| alexpilotti | cloudbase-init of all the rest | 12:05 |
| evilissimo | I see | 12:05 |
| alexpilotti | sorry, s/user/host/ | 12:05 |
| evilissimo | hmm but cloud-init could also set the host name, no? | 12:05 |
| evilissimo | cloudbase-init ;) | 12:05 |
| alexpilotti | actually the unattended.xml starts cloudbase-init for that | 12:05 |
| alexpilotti | it does | 12:06 |
| alexpilotti | but since setting the host name requires a reboot | 12:06 |
| alexpilotti | we avoid that by putting that step during generalization | 12:06 |
| alexpilotti | another thing we are working on is passwordless authentication in Windows | 12:06 |
| evilissimo | SSO? | 12:06 |
| alexpilotti | nope | 12:07 |
| alexpilotti | WSMan + client certs | 12:07 |
| evilissimo | that's for WMI? | 12:08 |
| evilissimo | I don't know WSMan | 12:08 |
| alexpilotti | not only | 12:08 |
| alexpilotti | Powershell demoting for example | 12:08 |
| alexpilotti | WSMan == SSH in the Windows world :-) | 12:08 |
| evilissimo | oh right | 12:08 |
| alexpilotti | darn autocorrect | 12:08 |
| evilissimo | lol, I fortunately don't have that :D | 12:09 |
| alexpilotti | s/demoting/remoting/ | 12:09 |
| evilissimo | yeah I guessed that ;) | 12:09 |
| alexpilotti | no, but you have: https://github.com/Openwsman/openwsman | 12:09 |
| evilissimo | oh, I mean autocompletion :) | 12:10 |
| evilissimo | I don't have auto completion ;) | 12:10 |
| alexpilotti | lol | 12:10 |
| alexpilotti | good choice, I think I'll follow the advice | 12:10 |
| evilissimo | The only autocompletion I use is the nick completion | 12:10 |
| evilissimo | alexpilotti: so what's the problem with the VirtIO drivers? | 12:12 |
| alexpilotti | we had some issues with the latest versions | 12:13 |
| alexpilotti | some blue screens | 12:13 |
| evilissimo | oh? | 12:13 |
| evilissimo | I haven't heard about that | 12:14 |
| alexpilotti | so there's some black magic involved in choosing what version to use for what OS :-) | 12:14 |
| evilissimo | hmm well since I don't handle the packaging for Windows, I am not really aware of it | 12:16 |
