From 1efa8a0a030794cec68197100f31a856d0d264ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chad Smith <chad.smith@canonical.com> Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2018 19:33:30 -0600 Subject: openstack: avoid unneeded metadata probe on non-openstack platforms OpenStack datasource is now discovered in init-local stage. In order to probe whether OpenStack metadata is present, it performs a costly sandboxed dhclient setup and metadata probe against http://169.254.169.254 for openstack data. Cloud-init properly detects non-OpenStack on EC2, but it spends precious time probing the metadata service also resulting in a confusing WARNING log about 'metadata not present'. To avoid the wasted cycles, and confusing warning, get_data will call a detect_openstack function to quickly determine whether the platform looks like OpenStack before trying to setup network to probe and crawl the metadata service.
