[08:37] <_NiC> I'm trying to run some network config v2 on a VM, but my interfaces don't end up the way I want them. I can't figure out why. Here's all the meta data, and logs and stuff: https://pastebin.com/8LzugYKR It looks like I need to specify the macaddress (or at least it's complained about it missing), but I don't know what that is until the VM is created.. Docs says that if you don't have a match:, it'll just 
[08:37] <_NiC> use the interface name specified, so I ...
[08:37] <_NiC> ... must be missing something somewhere..
[09:14] <_NiC> If I specify the MAC addresses during my virt-install, and match: on those in the network-config, it does work as expected.. 
[09:14] <_NiC> So either I'm misinterpreting the docs, or the docs are incorrect: "It is valid to specify no match rules at all, in which case the ID field is simply the interface name to be matched."

[12:44] <AssafKatz> Hi,
[12:44] <AssafKatz> I have CentOs 7 and I want to install the latest version of cloud-init, but no instructions exist in the documentation. And running "sudo yum install" provides only version 19.4.
[12:44] <AssafKatz> Thanks
[13:12] <minimal> _NiC: the first thing I'd point out is that you are using a very old version of cloud-init, 20.4.1 - the current release is 22.2
[15:26] <falcojr> AssafKatz: that's the version packaged with CentOs 7. Later versions aren't packaged or tested to work with CentOs 7.  You could try to find a later version of a cloud-init rpm, but there is no guarantee that it will work. In particular, cloud-init > 19.4 requires python 3, so 19.4 is probably your best bet
[15:28] <_NiC> minimal, this is what debian 11 has available, so I'd like to stick with that. In either case, I'm getting it to work as long as I set my own MAC addresses, which is ok with me. :)
[15:29] <_NiC> I'm having some other issues now, but they're not the fault of cloud-init I think ;)
[15:31] <AssafKatz> falcojr This should be documented:-( Is a newer version available for CentOs 8?

[15:44] <falcojr> according to https://repology.org/project/cloud-init/versions , 21.1 is in CentOs 8
