smoseras i was unappy with pylint and its "logging-not-lazy" (see attached python example there)15:09
smoserand it got fixed... which means i think some of cloud-init logging will start getting tagged as logging-not-layz15:09
rharperso this guy (smoser) on the internet just broke cloud-inits ci runs15:47

blackboxswHi folks and welcome. We've got a big week this week as we are planning on a cloud-init release.  So we will have an additional topic in today's agenda16:09
smosero/16:09
blackboxswit's been a few weeks, due to holiday schedules/travel,  our agenda will be as following: Previous Actions, Recent Changes, In-progress develepment, cloud-init release 18.3 and office hours16:10
blackboxsw#topic Previous Actions16:11
blackboxswlast action items are listed in our meeting minutes at the following url:16:11

meetingologyACTION: blackboxsw review distro dection and empty modules list    [ DONE ]  both robjo's branches are landed as of friday of last week.16:12
blackboxswthat was a carryover from the meeting before I believe.16:13
blackboxsw#ACTION blackboxsw carryover network hotplug vs network maintenance on reboot-only16:13
meetingologyACTION: blackboxsw carryover network hotplug vs network maintenance on reboot-only16:13
blackboxswI think this was the only other unresolved action. Our team has had mutliple followup discussions internally and with mgerts from Joyent/SmartOs as well16:14
blackboxswsmoser: and rharper drew up a hackmd doc related to this work here:16:14
blackboxsw#link https://hackmd.io/NUUO4nndS4CXTItl8Rs6Nw16:14
blackboxswWe've come to a conclusion on a common near-term approach that will support cold-plug scenarios by allowing datasources to claim whether or not they will re-render networking on a boot event. This would allow cloud-init to react to network metadata changes across boot and enable/disable those devices accordingly16:15
blackboxswa WIP branch is available here16:16
blackboxsw#link expectation is to get the foundation landed this week16:16
blackboxswand tracked in trello here16:16
blackboxsw#link https://trello.com/c/Yp6VG2lP/837-eventpolicy-foundation-for-joyent-and-azure-coldplug16:16
robjoNote that the metdata ins EC2 is "stale", AFIK, or at least some parts of the data are stale, i.e. they only get refreshed on instance restart16:17
rharperis it instance restart or "re DHCP" ?16:17
rharperie, bounce the interface ?16:17
blackboxsw#link https://code.launchpad.net/~chad.smith/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/feature/maintain-network-on-boot16:17
smoserrobjo: that is correct.16:18
robjoso a re-read of the metadata on EC2 delivers no/maybe limited new information16:18
smoserrobjo: well, network information is updated.16:18
smoseruser-data is only updatable on stop -> start in ec216:18
robjorharper: AFAIK new metadat gets pick up on instance restart16:18
rharperok16:19
robjoI know the IID also only gets updated on stop-start16:19
blackboxswcertainly in Azure that's the case. you have to stop the instance before changing attached network interfaces and then bring instance online again16:19
robjoYes, in Azure adding network interfaces is not dynamic16:20
robjomeaning cannot happen while an instance is running16:20
blackboxswadding IPs in azure is an online thing, but even azure's network metadata is limited in that it doesn't tell you whether a network interface is static or dynamic. examples here:16:21
blackboxswhttps://hackmd.io/aODzXfa_TOikNtYBLt8erA16:21
blackboxsw#link https://hackmd.io/aODzXfa_TOikNtYBLt8erA16:21
robjoAlso for Azure there exists the "problem" of accelerated networking, i.e. SR-IOV16:22
robjowhen accelerated networking is on the SR-IOV interface gets the same MAC address as the "Synthetic nic"16:23
rharperwell, they "solved" it by having the kernel auto bond =/16:23
robjothe SR-IOV interface gets bound to the synthetic nic in the kernel, that was a patch that went into the kernel 6-9 months ago16:23
rharperAFAICT, the sriov device just magically comes and goes as it will16:23
rharperso, one shouldn't worry about the silent bonding ...  (I'm being a bit sarcastic here)16:24
robjoyes, but the interface still shows up, so if output from "ip" command is read one has two devices with the same MAC address, only one of which should be configured16:24
rharperwe ignore any of the mlx4 driver devices16:25
rharperyes they show up16:25
robjoOK16:25
rharperbut the directive we got was to ignore them; and DHCP on the netvsc ones16:25
blackboxsw...so think that's all I had on action items from previous meeting.16:25
blackboxswshall we go to next topic?16:26
robjoAnd that of course works until Msft gets a better HW deal from Intel or someone else for their network cards ;)16:26
blackboxswheh16:26
rharperrobjo: indeed16:26

blackboxswthanks again Robert for the contributions here getting cloud-init in order :)16:28
blackboxswwe've also just pushed a release of cloud-init tip into Ubuntu Cosmic.16:30
blackboxswso all latest changes are in the development series16:30
blackboxswI think that about wraps it16:32
blackboxsw#topc In-progress Development16:32
blackboxswAs always, we track ongoing work publicly at16:32
blackboxsw#link https://trello.com/b/hFtWKUn3/daily-cloud-init-curtin16:32
blackboxswwe've got some cold-plug network rendering handling that will be queued for this week, mgerts is working on enabling cold-plug network rendering support on boot for SmartOS, and there is a followup for Azure to do the same16:33
blackboxswcloud-init squad is going to be setting up an SRU into Xenial, Artful and Bionic this week as well16:34
blackboxswto sync latest qualified cloud-init into those Ubuntu series16:34
smoserblackboxsw: thinking out loud..16:35
smoserif we're going to release 18.3 on thursday16:35
smosermight as well just hold off on sru until then16:35
blackboxsw(wait on 18.3 release?)16:36
blackboxswyeha16:36
blackboxswyeah even16:36
blackboxswwhich brings us to our next topic16:36
blackboxsw#topic Cloud-init 18.3 release16:36
blackboxswI hadn't seen any responsed to your email scott to cloud-init@lists.launchpad.net.  Does anyone have any feature pressing that we'd like to get into this release16:37
blackboxswestimated release would be Thusday of this week16:38
blackboxswI'd whimsically like to include the azure cold-plug stuff, but that means getting those two branches in shape today for a thorough review/test cycle16:39
blackboxsws/whimsically/opportunitically/16:39
blackboxswheh I give up16:39
blackboxswdid we want to pull this in? https://code.launchpad.net/~paul-meyer/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/33498916:42
blackboxswIf there are any pressing bugs or features that need to be in 18.3 we'd like to see them up for review by Wednesday of this week so that we can cut our upstream release. Feel free to send an email to the list    cloud-init@lists.launchpad.net   or this channel if your branch needs to get some eyes.16:45
blackboxswwe'll SRU 18.3 then into Xenial, Artful and Bionic after a complete round of testing.16:46
blackboxsw#topic Office Hours (next ~30 mins)16:46
robjo:D After 18.3 but before the workshop: https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/33390416:46
blackboxswFolks are around for further discussion on any cloud-init topics of interest16:47
robjothen maybe at the workshop we can come up with a way to move SLES & openSUSE to sysconfig renderer16:47
blackboxswgood topic idea16:48

smoserE: Type 'curity' is not known on line 50 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list17:26
smoserhttps://jenkins.ubuntu.com/server/job/cloud-init-integration-nocloud-kvm-b/218/console ?17:26
smoserpowersj: can you at some point push a delete all and README.md for things like https://github.com/canonical-server/test-scripts17:36
smoserthat say where the real one is ?17:36
blackboxswUmm something did a split on 'security'?17:38
smoserits race condition17:38
smoserin a test-scripts script17:38
powersjsmoser: done17:41
powersjand yes seems key server issues hit at least one other test17:41
smoserpowersj: you'll need to update https://jenkins.ubuntu.com/server/job/cloud-init-integration-nocloud-kvm-b/218/17:42
smoserit pulled from the canonical-server path17:42
powersjwell that is odd...17:43
smoserpowersj: do i have to care about precise ?17:43
powersjfor?17:43
powersjI didn't think we were doing any precise testing17:43
smoserno. i dont.17:43
smoserok17:43
powersjall cloud-init jobs redeployed17:49
smoserhttps://github.com/CanonicalLtd/server-test-scripts/pull/217:49
powersjthx will look in a sec17:50
