16:06 <blackboxsw> Welcome to the post-Easter episode of cloud-init's status meeting 🐰
16:06 <blackboxsw> Today's meeting will probably be light as we are fairly light on attendees given various holiday schedules
16:07 <rharper> o/
16:07 <rharper> nice rabbit ears
16:07 <blackboxsw> heya! As always, we'll go through recent changes, in progress work and ~30 minutes of office hours
16:08 <blackboxsw> feel free to interject and ask quesitons at any time.
16:08 <blackboxsw> #topic Recent Changes
16:09 <blackboxsw> Here's a brief run down of what we have committed to master in the last couple weeks
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Support for setting hostname from metadata prior to network bringup.
16:10 <blackboxsw> This fixes vsphere multi-vm deployments all coming up with the same
16:10 <blackboxsw> 'ubuntu' hostname. [LP: #1746455](http://pad.lv/1746455)
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Support initramfs iscsi root so network devices aren't disconnected
16:10 <blackboxsw> before shutdown
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Added cloud-config module `cc_snap` which enables loading snap
16:10 <blackboxsw> assertions, configuring snapd and installing snap packages on Ubuntu.
16:10 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1746455 in cloud-init "cloud-init vSphere cloud provider DHCP unique hostname issue" [High,Fix released]
16:10 <blackboxsw> Deprecated `cc_snappy` and `cc_snap_config` modules.
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Make salt minion work on FreeBSD (Dominic Schlegel)
16:10 <blackboxsw> [LP:#1721503](http://pad.lv/1721503)
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Simplify compound conditionals (Rémy Léone)
16:10 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1721503 in cloud-init "salt module not able to be used on FreeBSD" [Medium,Fix released]
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Change some list creation and population to literals (Rémy Léone)
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Add puppet 4 support configurable in `cc_puppet` module (Romanos
16:10 <blackboxsw> Skiadas)
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Fix datasouce Azure `get_hostname` function for hostname bounce
16:10 <blackboxsw> (Douglas Jordan) [LP:#1754495](http://pad.lv/1754495)
16:10 <blackboxsw> - OpenNebula datasource now uses network config v2 to support IPv6
16:10 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1755965 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1754495 util.subp regression: no longer accept commands as string" [Critical,Fix released]
16:10 <blackboxsw> config (Akihiko Ota)
16:10 <blackboxsw> - Add Hetzner Cloud datasource support (Markus Schade)
16:11 <blackboxsw> The highlights of this work that will affect various clouds:   hostname setting before network bringup, in cloud-init's init-local stage.
16:12 <blackboxsw> so if your cloud's metadata provides hostname information (per your instance creation) that hostname gets set before any potential dhcp discovery on the instance. This is a big win for Azure and may allow us to avoid/deprecate some of the hostname_bounce functionality
16:13 <blackboxsw> which was baked in to re-dhcp in order to publish updated hostname information to DDNS
16:14 <blackboxsw> We also have landed support for two new clouds: Hetzner Cloud and IBMCloud. A big thanks to Markus Schade for the Hetzner work there and smoser for the IBMCloud datasource
16:15 <blackboxsw> do3meli (Dominic Schlegel) has also been on a blitz fixing and updating a lot of FreeBSD support in cloud-init tip so thank you sir for that work as well.
16:16 <blackboxsw> We've just also landed some zfs resize support by rharper as well that should be making it's way into your friendly neighborhood Ubuntu Bionic series in a cloud near you
16:16 <blackboxsw> anything else I'm missing on rharper or powersj ?
16:16 <blackboxsw> ahh hold the phone
16:16 <rharper> blackboxsw: well, not my zfs-resize
16:17 <rharper> but I do have some fixes for it
16:17 <rharper> https://code.launchpad.net/~raharper/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/fix/cc_resizefs_on_zfs_root
16:17 <blackboxsw> We officially released cloud-init 18.2  in master. There is an 18.2 tag in the repo for folks wanting to take an early cut of it.
16:17 <rharper> our ci-test backend normally runs with zfs, it's not right now so it missed a couple edge cases that we need to handle
16:18 <blackboxsw> Per cloud-init 18.2 here is an email sent to the cloud-init mailing list describing the details: https://lists.launchpad.net/cloud-init/msg00145.html
16:18 <blackboxsw> #link https://lists.launchpad.net/cloud-init/msg00145.html
16:18 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~raharper/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/fix/cc_resizefs_on_zfs_root
16:19 <blackboxsw> #topic In-progress Development
16:20 <blackboxsw> The upstream team has released 18,2 to Bionic as of last week, and we started an Ubuntu SRU process into Xenial and Artful.
16:21 <blackboxsw> We expect the 18.2 to be present in Xenial and Artful within 2 weeks in your cloud, so if you are waiting on a feature, it won't be very long.
16:22 <blackboxsw> Also in-progress are some of rharper's zfs fixes, and some exception callback cleanup that will affect Azure, EC2, OpenStack and  Scaleway clouds.
16:22 <blackboxsw> #link  https://code.launchpad.net/~raharper/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+ref/fix/cc_resizefs_on_zfs_root
16:22 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/342007
16:23 <blackboxsw> And we are doing our part to finally purge net-tools dependencies from cloud-init (in favor of iproute2)
16:23 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~chad.smith/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/342428
16:24 <rharper> blackboxsw: I responded to your ip -6 route q from last week, did you see that ?
16:24 <blackboxsw> rharper: haven't yet, but I'll grab those comments today for sure (I think I missed some of your earlier review comments)
16:24 <rharper> ok
16:25 <rharper> the tl;dr for that one is that you want this: ip -6 route list table all
16:25 <blackboxsw> ahh excellent, I was wondering why we were missing content for local routes etc
16:25 <rharper> right
16:25 <blackboxsw> thanks
16:25 <rharper> np
16:26 <blackboxsw> also, on our continuous integration front , powersj  has put up a branch that I'd like to see us land with some ssh improvements
16:26 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~powersj/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/342010
16:26 <powersj> :) yep
16:26 <blackboxsw> any other in-progress work worth noting?
16:27 <blackboxsw> Intereseted parties can always track our public trello board for a glimpse of what we are working on
16:27 <blackboxsw> #link https://trello.com/b/hFtWKUn3/daily-cloud-init-curtin
16:27 <blackboxsw> #topic Office Hours (next ~30 minutes)
16:28 <blackboxsw> We'll all have eyes glued to the screen for the next 30 minutes for rants, feature discussion and bug work.
16:29 <blackboxsw> With that, the floor is open for any topics. Thanks for tuning in.
16:30 <blackboxsw> My day today will be Ubuntu SRU(stable release update)-related, so I'm getting on rharper's zfs branch now and they running a couple manual tests on ec2/azure/openstack
16:30 <rharper> +1
16:30 <rharper> oh, the ntp-spec update is ready for review and testing
16:31 <rharper> https://code.launchpad.net/~raharper/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/339438
16:32 <blackboxsw> ahh +1 we want that in too
16:32 <blackboxsw> #link https://code.launchpad.net/~raharper/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/339438
17:02 <blackboxsw> Alrighty, happy spring break all.
17:02 <blackboxsw> Next meeting will be two weeks from today.
17:03 <blackboxsw> powersj: rharper 4/16 look good for folks?
17:03 <powersj> +1 from me
