Issue

  • Why cloud-init configures the NIC despite of disabling cloud-init service in the kickstart file for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host ?
  • kickstart already includes the below line. After installation, when the system boots, cloud-init configures the NIC to use dhcp.
services --disabled cloud-init,cloud-config,cloud-final,cloud-init-local
