[07:50] <lordievader> Good morning
[13:50] <hexa-> is there a dedicated channel for ubuntu cloud images?
[13:52] <hexa-> the focal .ova images don't support passing meta-data to cloud-init, so I'm a bit at a loss on how to influence network configuration in the guest
[14:17] <frickler> jamespage: coreycb: ^^ do you know something or know someone who could?
[14:26] <rbasak> hexa-: isn't an ova supposed to encapsulate everything? Why are you using ova if you want to break through that encapsulation?
[14:27] <hexa-> rbasak: ova offers properties that can be set from the outside, e.g. `user-data`, but not `meta-data`. I'm not sure how that counts as breaking through any encap?
[14:27] <hexa-> https://paste.lossy.network/XYDQ
[14:28] <hexa-> so I can configure users etc. via cloud-init, but not networking
[14:29] <hexa-> the reason we need to touch networking at all is because these machines will have no dhcp, but only slaac. But as it is now terraform times out.
[14:31] <rbasak> I see.
[14:32] <rbasak> In a cloud platform environment, the contents of "meta-data" are supposed to come from the platform. I'm not sure how that maps to a local platform.
[14:33] <rbasak> This might be related to cloud-init's platform detection stuff, so maybe #cloud-init would be a better place to ask.
[14:33] <hexa-> oh, right. This is a vsphere cluster.
[14:35] <hexa-> yup, and ultimately I can see user-data land in /var/lib/cloud/, but no meta-data at all.
[14:35] <hexa-> will try #cloud-init, thanks
[19:27] <ShellcatZero> Has anyone here created encrypted AMIs on EC2 without using KMS? I would be curious to see the AMI or script that accomplishes this.
[19:27] <ShellcatZero> A scripted solution using KMS would also be interesting to see.
