We shifted the cloud-init status meeting time ... and then I subsequent forgot about it. 16:37 Hope the break went well for folks. We'll be hosting this meeting bi-weekly to keep folks updated on cloud-init developments 16:38 Generally the topics we cover in this status meeting are: Previous Actions, Recent Changes, In-progress Development, and Office hours 16:38 #topic Previous Actions 16:39 looking over last meeting minutes I see only one action 16:39 #link https://cloud-init.github.io/ 16:39 ^ meeting minutes 16:40 #link https://code.launchpad.net/~jasonzio/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/360905 16:40 ^ this merge proposal from Jason Zions looks like it got updated and resubmitted a few days ago addressing our review comments. Let's get another review on this this week and see where it stands 16:42 #topic Recent Changes 16:44 - Upstream release of cloud-init 18.5 and publishing 18.5 to Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco) 16:45 - ds-identify: fix wrong variable name in ovf_vmware_transport_guestinfo. 16:45 - Scaleway: Support ssh keys provided inside an instance tag.

[James Baxter] 16:45 - config: On ubuntu select cloud archive mirrors for armel, armhf, arm64. 16:45 ([LP: #1805854](https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805854)) 16:45 Ubuntu bug 1807466 in cloud-init "add support for ovf transport com.vmware.guestInfo" [Medium,Fix committed] 16:45 Ubuntu bug 1808380 in cloud-init "Release 18.5" [Undecided,Fix released] 16:45 Ubuntu bug 1805871 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "net renderers miss metric value in per-subnet routes" [Undecided,Fix released] 16:45 Ubuntu bug 1805854 in cloud-init "[feature-request] Add non-x86 Ubuntu EC2 mirrors in to default cloud-init configuration" [Medium,Fix released] 16:46 The above are commits landed in cloud-init since the last status meeting. 16:46 #topic In-Progress Development 16:47 As always we try tracking our ongoing cloud-init upstream work (and backlog) on our Trello board 16:47 #lin https://trello.com/b/hFtWKUn3/daily-cloud-init-curtin 16:47 https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/356098 is pending since October :( :( 16:47 #link https://trello.com/b/hFtWKUn3/daily-cloud-init-curtin 16:47 #action Review robjo's branch today/tomorrow 16:47 * meetingology Review robjo's branch today/tomorrow 16:47 #action Review robjo's branch today/tomorrow https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/356098 16:47 * meetingology Review robjo's branch today/tomorrow https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/356098 16:48 #link https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/356098 16:48 ok robjo, we'll have eyes on that today and get you something 16:48 Also I filed a number of bugs w.r.t the network rendering some with proposals, for other's I simply have no idea about the best approach, none of these have seen any action 16:48 thanks for that 16:49 then there is the Python 2 utf-8 issue w.r.t. metadata persistence on OpenStack 16:49 smoser had supplied a test case, also not action on that issue since whenever .... :( 16:50 on that topic the question is still open why that particular data is persisted in teh first place since every access to the APi on OpenStack yields a different result 16:51 #action review robjo's New bugs and get feedback https://bit.ly/2C4gEHJ 16:51 * meetingology review robjo's New bugs and get feedback https://bit.ly/2C4gEHJ 16:55 robjo: I think we have to sort persistence story for metadata sub-components still. The only reason anything is persisted is for speed of course. OpenStack DS is notably very slow on every call the the md service. 16:56 robjo: some of that persistence/refresh should/will be addressed in rharper's openstack hotplug branch which would force cloud-init to refresh metadata when hotplug events are seen 16:57 Well I have to admit that I do not know how OpenStack and or guest would use the value returned for "random_seed". What I was able to test is that the value is different when the API is aclled 16:59 so that could mean that OpenStack keeps the "previously" returned value of "random_seed" until the API is called again and then uses the previous value for whatever hashing is being done to come up with authentication of the guest 16:59 robjo: is this the bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1801364 16:59 Ubuntu bug 1801364 in cloud-init "persisting OpenStack metadata fails" [Undecided,Confirmed] 16:59 #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1801364 17:00 but that would imply that any calls to the OpenStack API from the quest must know that random_seed and I doubt that they are using the cache we build with cloud-init 17:00 yes, that's the bug 17:03 robjo: your https://code.launchpad.net/~rjschwei/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/356098 was left in Needs Fixing and got tagged WIP; after you updated, it needed to move to Needs Review 17:04 Well I am pretty sure I tried to set it back to get another review and from the interface it looked to me that happened.... :( 17:05 If I look at the UI it tells me the review was requested from "Scott Moser [2]" on 2018-10-09 and the status is "Pending" 17:15 robjo: we're talking side-channel as we were in a meeting anyway. Just added a work item to help us avoid this situation 17:15 https://trello.com/c/bEGsPvTm/1028-updated-cloud-init-ci-review-bot-to-place-a-branch-back-into-needs-review-after-it-receives-a-commit 17:15 this will make reviews which you add commits to pop up on our radar anytime a new commit was added 17:16 thanks 17:16 then we know what needs attention (as others have hit this issue too0 17:18 robjo: we also are talking about we can maybe blacklisting certain metadata elements as not-cacheable. We'll have to add 'cloud-init query' tooling to understand this at some point though. 17:18 #action blackboxsw resolve and land fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1801364 this week 17:18 * meetingology blackboxsw resolve and land fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1801364 this week 17:18 Ubuntu bug 1801364 in cloud-init "persisting OpenStack metadata fails" [Undecided,Confirmed] 17:19 though the fix for serialization won't include this blacklisting/cache solution I don't think 17:20 Ok I grabbed https://trello.com/c/7ouGpa0A/1029-openstack-serialization-errors-py27 17:23 There is a patch for a very simplistic approach attached to the bug, that's what I am currently carrying in the SUSE package 17:28 +1 17:28 ok, so I think that wraps current topic. 17:29 #topic Office Hours (next ~30 minutes) 17:29 upstream devs will have eyes on this channel for any concerns, questions or discussions folks want to have about cloud-init. 17:29 We've also started going through some of the open reviews 17:30 raharper is on https://code.launchpad.net/~jasonzio/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/360905 currently. I'll start looking at this https://code.launchpad.net/~jasonzio/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/360905 17:34 robjo: can you re-share that opensuse download link for latest cloud-init images generated (I think you had shared once in the past your server team's public/latest/testing downloads of cloud-init) 17:34 just for reference while you are here :) 17:34 s/images/packages/ 17:37 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Cloud:Tools:Next/cloud-init 17:37 thank you sir 17:38 currently the same as the released https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Cloud:Tools:Next/cloud-init 17:38 but planningt to move :Next to 18.5 this week 17:39 excellent thanks robjo 18:02 ok think that wraps up the meeting for today 18:02 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
