    • RPM-Lag: cloud-init

    Posted on

    Are there any plans to update the version of 

    cloud-init
    available in the Red Hat repos? Seems like the version currently in the RHEL repos is well behind the current version available in the main 
    cloud-init
    project ...which means that I can't (optimally) do boot-time automation of disk setup. If I launch an Ubuntu instance, the following takes care of my launch-time storage setup need:

    #cloud-config
disk_setup:
  sdf:
    table_type: mbr
    layout: True
    overwrite: False
fs_setup:
  - device: sdf
    filesystem: ext4
    partition: auto
mounts:
  - [ sdf, /opt/data ]

    However, on a Red Hat instance, while the 

    mounts
    stanza will function correctly, the stuff that should be handled via 
    disk_setup
    and/or 
    fs_setup
    have to be kludged into a 
    bootcmd
    script, instead.
