[18:05] <nfsninja> Does anyone have experience using Network Protocol Profiles in VMware for cloud-init to get an ip address from?
[18:06] <nfsninja> Specifically using Ubuntu 22.04 Cloud image in VMware vSphere 8
[18:12] <meena> nfsninja: what's cloud-init telling you that it figured out the source is?
[18:16] <nfsninja> OVF
[18:20] <nfsninja> cat result.json
[18:20] <nfsninja> {
[18:20] <nfsninja>  "v1": {
[18:20] <nfsninja>   "datasource": "DataSourceOVF [seed=iso]",
[18:20] <nfsninja>   "errors": []
[18:20] <nfsninja>  }
[18:20] <nfsninja> }
[18:24] <nfsninja> meena: Is that what you were asking for?
[18:25] <meena> is that the right source tho?
[18:29] <nfsninja> meena: Good question. There is OVF and VMware both listed as datasources. I'm not sure which one allows Network Protocol Profiles to be used for IP allocation. Or worse, I don't even know if Network Protocol Profiles CAN be used for IP allocation with cloud-init. I've been googling and googling, and can't find anything on how the two interact, and
[18:29] <nfsninja> how to debug if things don't work as expected.
[18:33] <meena> well, you'd check what data you've gotten, and if there's any network configuration there
