[14:41] I need to override the search domain set through DHCP, but of course resolv.conf is generated by NetworkManager from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, which in turn is generated by cloud-init. Been digging, but can't get cloud-init to alter ifcfg-eth0. [14:41] This on a Redhat image in AWS [14:47] I don't think the RedHat AWS image has cloud-init new enough to generate networking config; it's likely the ifcfg-eth0 is baked into the image as-is (dhcp on eth0 was a common default in cloud-images). It may be possible to have a dhcp hook script which can append/prepend DNS settings [14:49] The image I'm working on is using cloud-init 0.7.9, which seems to tie with the docs I was looking at that suggested this was possible, and at the top of the ifcfg-eth0 it states it was generated by cloud-init. [14:50] I've tried putting in cloud.cfg - [14:50] manage_resolv_conf: true resolv_conf: searchdomains: - vpc01.grn.poc.tbaws.com domain: vpc01.grn.poc.tbaws.com [14:50] (mangled format in cut-n-paste, sorry) [14:50] Ah, 0.7.9 is new enough [14:52] it maybe that the fallback network configuration doesn't look at those cloud-configs; would you be able to file a bug against cloud-init on launchpad with details? https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+filebug [14:54] Sure, I can do that. Have I got the settings in the right location and format through? I've never looked at cloud-init before today, and I got confused reading the docs about exactly where I should be putting things [14:58] sde: w.r.t format, not quite sure since your paste didn't have newlines. but I suspect you want it to look something like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25376871/ [15:00] Yes, that's exactly what I've got. Directly in cloud.cfg is the correct/acceptable location for that, rather than as a separate file under cloud.cfg.d/ ? [15:11] Need to step away, but thanks for your assist, appreciate the time. I'll get that bug raised later. Thanks [15:11] rharper, wrt "what image for development release on ec2" [15:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25376930/ [15:14] ah, search by ami number [16:03] image status is https://github.com/smoser/talk-simplestreams/blob/master/bin/image-status [16:45] rharper, blackboxsw fyi, the instance-data roadmap entry [16:45] https://trello.com/c/AYaCdQyT [16:48] k [19:54] rharper: /smoser trial run ipv6 from AWS metadata :) https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-2#Instances:sort=desc:statusChecks [19:54] oops [19:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25378444/ [19:55] looks like generating the network V1 worked [19:55] I'm throwing together some unit test coverage [19:55] ehem, I mean I'm all TDD and must already have the unit tests around some place
