Spotlight: cloud-init analyze

cloud-init now has an analyze feature to aid in doing boot time analysis. This tool parses the cloud-init log into formatted and sorted events to assist in determining long running steps during instance initialization. The output is similar to systemd analyze.

cloud-init, curtin, and simplestreams

cloud-init

• Add IPv6 support to EC2 Datasource. The datasource discovers whether IPv4 or IPv6 needs to be configured for every NIC by talking to AWS’ metadata service (LP: #1639030)
• Fix url_helper import logic to better handle missing optional package dependency python-oauthlib on RedHat/CentOS environments (LP: #1713760)
• Fix two modules, landscape and puppet, that were incorrectly using six.StringIO (LP: #1710932, LP: #1699282)
• User’s can now call cloud-init devel schema --config-file <cloud-config.yaml> --annotate for local validation of ntp and runcmd cloud-config options. For more see cloud-init devel schema --doc
• Create initial draft of an SRU exception
• Mirroring Launchpad daily build results in Jenkins
