2011-12-20support configuration of landscape-client via cloud-config (LP: #857366)Scott Moser
This adds the ability to configure landscape client code from cloud-config. The fields available are those that were populated to /etc/landscape/client.conf when I ran landscape-config on precise ('11.07.1.1-0ubuntu2')
2011-12-20update documentation for bootcmdScott Moser
- reference cloud-init-per - mention that INSTANCE_ID is in environment of bootcmd scripts
2011-12-20output public ssh host keys to console on boot (LP: #893400)Scott Moser
Currently cloud-init writes something like this to console output: ec2: ############################################################# ec2: -----BEGIN SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS----- ec2: 2048 78:ae:f3:91:04:6f:8d:ee:ef:e1:2d:72:83:6a:d0:82 root@h (RSA) ec2: 1024 d3:b6:32:64:22:d4:43:05:f9:25:b4:f3:65:4e:e2:51 root@h (DSA) ec2: -----END SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS----- ec2: ############################################################# the key fingerprints are useful for humans to read, but not so useful for machines, as you cannot populate a KnownHostsFile (~/.ssh/known_hosts) from the data there. This change adds output like: -----BEGIN SSH HOST KEY KEYS----- ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZHNhLXNoYTItbmlzdH......STI= root@h ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDYRIQe6m......tWF3 root@h -----END SSH HOST KEY KEYS----- Those lines can easily be grabbed and appended to a known_hosts file.
2011-12-19revert default handling of /etc/hosts to 0.6.1 style (Ubuntu 11.04)Scott Moser
The default management of /etc/hosts in 0.6.2 (Ubuntu 11.10) was problematic for a couple different uses, and represented a change in what was present in previous releases. This changes the default behavior back to the way it was in 11.04/0.6.1. It makes 'manage_etc_hosts' in cloud-config more than just a boolean. It can now have 3 values: * False (default): do not update /etc/hosts ever * "localhost": manage /etc/hosts' 127.0.1.1 entry (the way it was done in 11.10/0.6.2) * True (or "template"): manage /etc/hosts via template file This addresses bugs * LP: #890501 * LP: #871966
2011-12-19make DataSourceEc2 more resilliant to slow metadata service (LP: #894279)Scott Moser
This increases the timeout for a metadata request to something that should be easily satisfiable (50 seconds). But hopefully does so while still keeping the case of no-metadata service in mind. Previously, there was a small timeout and many retries (30) would be done. Now, - larger timeout (50 seconds) by default - retry until a given "max_wait" is reached (120 seconds default) The end result is that if we're hitting the timeout, there will only end up being a couple attempts made. But if the requests are coming back quickly then we'll still make several attempts. There is one EC2DataSource config change, now 'retries' is not used, but rather 'max_wait' to indicate generally how long it should try to find a metadata service.

2011-07-26make 'include-once' really "download source once per-instance"Scott Moser
Marc's implementation would only ever process the include-once urls a single time. This changes that to process them every time, with the second time coming from a file on disk rather than the url. You can then do expiring or one time use URLs in the include-once and have all function of if the content was there every time. The cached file is readable by root-only.

2011-06-17make the default "fill in" mount entries configurable. (LP: #785542)Scott Moser
The primary motivation for this is so that 'nobootwait' is not hard coded to appear in the fs_opts field. LP: #785542
2011-06-17make the "cloud-config ready" command configurable (LP: #785551)Scott Moser
Previously, when cloud-config was ready, cloud-init would emit an upstart event with: initctl emit cloud-config Now, that command is configurable via the 'cc_ready_cmd' value in cloud.cfg or user data. The default behavior is not changed. LP: #785551
2011-06-17change, and make configurable the prefix for entries in root authorized_keysScott Moser
This makes the prefix for entries added to root's authorized keys configurable. Previously, the value was: command="echo 'Please login as the user \"ubuntu\" rather than the user \"root\".\';echo;sleep 10\"" Now, at is configurable in cloud.cfg or user data by setting 'root_disabled_opts'. Additionally, the default has been changed to include 'no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding' See LP: #798505 for more information on that. Note, that 'no-pty' was *not* added to this list as adding it means the user who simply does 'ssh root@host' gets a "cannot allocate pty" message rather than seeing warning about using root.

Now, if a Eucalyptus install is in STATIC or SYSTEM mode, the metadata service can still be used. In order to do that, the user must configure their DNS so that 'instance-data' will resolve to the cloud controller. Thanks to Kieran Evans. LP: #761847
