ausfestivusafternoon. Anyone here able to assist with a cloud-init issue? I am unsure how best to go about isolating the root cause of the problem04:28
ausfestivusill describe the issue anyway and see if anyone wants to have a stab at it04:37
ausfestivusDeploying an Ubuntu 18.04LTS VM on Azure.04:38
ausfestivusIntermittently, cloud-init will fails with:04:38

ausfestivusFor some reason it appears that two `apt` commands are running04:39
ausfestivusI am unsure why this is so04:39

ausfestivusanyway, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Feels like a race condition to me in the sequencing of cloud-init04:41
ausfestivusbut im not an expert so figured it wouldnt hurt to seek some guidance here04:41
meenaOdd_Bloke: re, meena> that seems like an interesting omission… ← calling the thing that makes it work.09:56

Odd_Blokemeena: Yeah, it only happens with wifi, which is the puzzling part.13:37
Odd_Blokeausfestivus: Thanks for the report!  For future reference, a pastebin service like https://paste.ubuntu.com/ makes it a lot easier to communicate multi-line files.  That does look like a race of some description; is this an official Ubuntu image in Azure?13:39
Odd_Bloke(There have been races between cloud-init and unattended-updates in the past, but I believe those have been resolved.)13:40

blackboxswBelow is a list of commits that have landed in tip of master: found via git log --since 2020-03-1016:22
blackboxsw#link https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YMb2Tw3tRD/16:22
blackboxswWe've had a number of milestones since the last status meeting, Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04 was released on Apr 23, cloud-init upstream cut a release 20.2 as well16:23
blackboxswAdditionally we have two new hires to the canonical ubuntu-server team that will be participating in cloud-init, curtin and ubuntu-advantage-tools projects16:23
blackboxswWe are really excited to have some extra hands on cloud-init from lucasmoura and falcojr. So welcome gentlemen, glad to have the help.16:24
blackboxswThey just started yesterday and are going through a bit of onboarding this week, but expect to see them around in cloud-init shortly. I believe they have both landed their first PRs to get added as a contributor to cloud-init.16:25
blackboxsw#topic In-progress Development16:26
blackboxsw#link https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pulls16:26
blackboxswok active review queue is really getting well maintained now that we've adopted PR assignment. Thanks for helping is land branches quickly folks.16:27
blackboxswGenerally upstream has set a couple of long-term goals for cloud-init in the next development cycle16:28
blackboxsw- wrap up cloud-init daemon mode (to reduce boot time by loading python only once)16:28
blackboxsw- OpenStack network hotplug handling from cloud-init16:28
blackboxsw- Potentially a new LXD datasource for handling container deployments16:29
blackboxsw- better json schema coverage for the remaining oncovered cloud config modules.16:29
blackboxsw#topic Community Charter16:30
blackboxswWe continue to categorize more bitesize bugs in cloud-init.16:31
blackboxsw#link  https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize16:31
blackboxswThese bugs are themed at doc updates and json schema improvements across all of cloud-init, but we continue to seed that bug tag with items which should be easy to drop in and make a lasting impact on cloud-init16:32
blackboxswAll cloud-init contributors are encouraged to participate in any part of the cloud-init lifecycle, from bug filing, to fixing, to release testing and PR reviews. Thanks to everyone who continues to build the cloud-init community!16:33
blackboxsw#topic Office hours (next ~30 mins)16:33
blackboxswDuring this stage we have a some focus time on cloud-init development and community support. Any questions, concerns, reviews or request for help/triage are most welcome. We should have a couple of upstream developers with eyes on this channel.16:35
blackboxswIn the absence of discussion, we'll groom the active PR review queue and/or work additional cloud-init dev items.16:36
blackboxswcommunity-notice: Ubuntu plans  to release cloud-init version 20.2 to Ubuntu's new development release 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla). We expect to start an Ubuntu StableReleaseUpdate into xenial, bionic, eoan and  focal within the next 2 weeks.16:38
blackboxswalrighty, think that about wraps today's status meeting. Happy Cinco De Mayo folks17:33
