Since we are upgrading WALinuxAgent from 1.3.2 to 2.0.5 for Precise, I want to be absolutely sure that this safe, so I spent the better part of day testing, retesting and confirming that this is safe.
Uploaded 2.0.5 for 12.04 and 14.04. ** Description changed: SRU Justification - IMPACT: - WALinuxAgent 1.3.2 lacks features and bug fixes; these features and fixes are not being backported. + IMPACT: + WALinuxAgent 1.3.2 lacks features and bug fixes; these features and fixes are not being backported. For 14.04, the current code base is 2.0.4; 2.0.5 is largely a selection of bug fixes. The current extension handlers are not robust and may leak and exception, causing the agent to crash mid boot. For example there are several fixes for catching errors in plugin handling. TEST CASES New Image * Build new image from -proposed, confirm that it boots * Boot new instance w/ user-data - confirm cloud-init consumed user-data Upgrade: * Upgrade 12.04 and 14.04 instance w/ -proposed walinuxagent + * for 12.04, replace waagent.conf when prompted, confirm it comes up properly + * for 12.04, don't replace waagent.conf when prompted, confirm is comes up properly * Reboot, confirm instance came back up * Rebundle instance, confirm that new rebundling works * Upgrade 12.04 to 14.04, reboot. Confirm that instance comes up REGRESSION POTENTIAL: There is some risk of regression potential. MS has confirmed that that 2.0.5 has been thoroughly tested by MS on 12.04. However, for 12.04 it is a shift from 1.3.2 series to 2.0.5. For 14.04, the regession potential lower, as the changes are bug fixes to 2.0.4 version. ORIGINAL REPORT: This is a request from Microsoft to please update the walinuxagent package for Ubuntu 12.04 from v1.3.2 to the latest WALinuxAgent 2.0.5. The Microsoft team has implemented new features and bugfixes into the 2.0 branch that will not be backported to the 1.x branch. The most important of these is the support for extension handlers on Azure, which will be a widely used and compelling feature for Azure moving forward.
