There are two paths we could pursue for this: a.) Utilize reporting mechanism (reporting.handlers.ReportHandler), which already does this in many senses. MAAS uses this mechanism to accomplish both "status" events and "pass/fail". This general mechanism is already in place. To use it for vmware we would have to add some Reporter that worked for vmware.
b.) Modify cloud-init to call a 'report_status' function on a datasource if that function was present. We'd just change cloud-init to call that at different points in its runtime. The only issue with this is that it very much is implementing a subset of what reporting already does do. So I'd prefer to work towards the ReportHandler solution (a). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724128 Title: Need a Success / Failure notification mechanism when cloud-init finishes.
