This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on.
In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1331364 Title: No macs key available in the meta-data store Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Opinion Bug description: There is no 'macs' key available in the meta-data store. This is something provided in the AWS and would be a useful addition to Openstack. In AWS on a machine with multiple NICs, the information can be exposed via the meta-store. This is useful, as it enables machines to automatically configured there network interfaces on bootup. i.e. a script running from rc.local can query the metastore, and create a interface file for each additional NIC. The information provided also includes cidr-blocks and mac addresses which has been useful when setting up asymmetric routing on some VMs. The alternative approach we have used up until now, is to have user- data passed to the VM, providing this information, but it means user- data must be created for each VM. curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/network/interfaces/macs/ 02:2c:cd:4b:ed:0b/ 02:86:e3:35:08:c1/ 02:d9:66:42:27:b2/ 02:db:ad:a7:0a:e5/ This returns the mac address for each interface. I can then query each interface as follows: curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/network/interfaces/macs/02:2c:cd:4b:ed:0b/ device-number interface-id local-hostname local-ipv4s mac owner-id security-group-ids security-groups subnet-id subnet-ipv4-cidr-block vpc-id vpc-ipv4-cidr-block curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/network/interfaces/macs/02:2c:cd:4b:ed:0b/local-ipv4s 10.20.1.12 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1331364/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
