Public bug reported: initramfs-tools used to only execute klibc based networking with some resolvconf hooks.
In recent releases, it has been greatly improved to use isc-dhcp-client instead of klibc, support vlan= key (like in dracut-network), bring up Z devices using chzdev, and generate netplan yaml from all of the above. Above improvements were driven in part by Oracle Cloud and in part by Subiquity netbooting on Z. Thus these days, instead of trying to reparse klibc files in /run/net-*, cloud-init should simply import /run/netplan/$device.yaml files as the ip=* provided networking information on the command line. I do not currently see cloud-init doing that in e.g. /cloudinit/net/cmdline.py ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Wishlist Status: Triaged ** Changed in: cloud-init Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: cloud-init Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
