This will allow us to exercise more complex network and storage scenarios to ensure proper behavior in complex environments. ## cloud-init and curtin ### cloud-init - integration tests: Enable NoCloud KVM platform as a test suite. Launches KVM via a wrapper around qemu-system and sets a custom SSH port for communication with the test images. - Chef users can now pin a desired omibus_version in **#cloud-config** they wish to install with chef: omnibus_version: X.Y.Z - Add **cloud-init collect-logs** comandline utility to tar and gzip cloud-init logs needed to file bugs - Apport integration so *ubuntu-bug* cloud-init works on Artful (to be SRU'd) - Fix [Bug #1715690][1] and [Bug #1715738][2] - Cloud-init config modules are now skipped if distribution doesn't match module's supported distros. Modules can be forced to run setting 'unverified_module'. - [LP: #1675063][3] VMWare datasource now reacts to user network customization and renders network configuration version 1 from the datasource. - [LP: #1717147][4] Fix a CentOS 7 regression which ignored dhclient lease files beginning with dhclient-. Datasource now handles 'dhclient-' and 'dhclient.' prefix. - [LP: #1717611][5] walinuxagent sometimes fails to deliver certificates during service upgrade. Cloud-init now waits 15 mins instead of 1 for the wireservice to become healthy. - [LP: #1717598][6] Fix GCE cloud instance user-data processing.
