smoserbad design (and implementation) in openstack13:40
smosereach time you do a request to the metadata service it ends up in lots of messages on the bus to get the information. at points you could almost DOS a openstack installation by just hitting the metadata server.13:42

smoserthat is a very typical discussion on the topic.13:45
smoseri'd like to highlight this comment:13:45
smoserIn these test runs, how long did it take cirros to boot? Lets say it took 2 minutes. That means you booted virtual hardware (bios, kernel,disk, ....) in 2 minutes, but a HTTP couldn't be satisfied in 10 seconds?13:45
mockQuestion: I am adding the package_update: true to my cloud-config userdata. My package manager is yum. Will this be the equivalent of a yum update or yum update --security? And if not the second, is there a cloud-init way to do the security only update or do I just need to runcmd the command.15:45
mock?15:45
Odd_Blokemock: I don't believe it will be the second, and I don't believe that there is a cloud-init way to express a security-only update.16:17
Odd_BlokeIn the apt world, or Ubuntu at least, security updates aren't special at the package manager level; if you only want security updates, then you change the package sources to only include security repos and then `apt update; apt upgrade` as normal.)16:19
Odd_BlokeSo I think this is a case where the "lowest common denominator" package management module can't express such a requirement (though I haven't given it too much thought and would happily be contradicted).16:20
mockOk, thanks16:27
mockI will use the runcmd avenue16:28
