Issue/Introduction

Newer versions of cloud-init will only probe data sources that they expect to be there for configuration information, which is a change that was introduced in order to cut down on things like unnecessarily polling a URL for metadata for long periods.

Environment

VMware Integrated Openstack 7.x
VMware Integrated OpenStack 6.x

Resolution

 
  • Update to VMware Integrated Openstack 5.1.0.2.
  • Use image extra specs to populate '{"smbios.assetTag":"OpenTelekomCloud"}'.
vmware_extra_config='{"smbios.assetTag":"OpenTelekomCloud"}'
 
Note:  This should be done for each image that has the new cloud init version.

Additional Information

For releases prior to cloud-init 19.2, customers will probably want to set the asset tag to "OpenTelekomCloud" as a temporary workaround. From 19.2 on they can use "OpenStack Nova" or "OpenStack Compute".
