You have been subscribed to a public bug: BACKGROUND:
cloud-init-local.service runs before networking has started. On non- Oracle platforms, before networking has come up, cloud-init will create an ephemeral connection to the cloud's IMDS using DHCP to retrieve instance metadata. On Oracle, this normally isn't necessary as we boot with connectivity to the IMDS out of the box. This can be seen in the following Jammy instance using an SR-IOV NIC: 2024-03-05 14:09:05,351 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [0/1] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 5.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent' : 'Cloud-Init/23.3.3-0ubuntu0~22.04.1', 'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:09:05,362 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Read from http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/ (200, 2663b) after 1 attempts 2024-03-05 14:09:05,362 - ephemeral.py[DEBUG]: Skip ephemeral DHCP setup, instance has connectivity to {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'headers': {'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}, 'timeout': 5} 2024-03-05 14:09:05,362 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [0/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/23 .3.3-0ubuntu0~22.04.1', 'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:09:05,368 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Read from http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/ (200, 2663b) after 1 attempts Notice the "Skip ephemeral DHCP setup, instance has connectivity". This means that cloud-init has determined that it already has connectivity and doesn't need to do any additional setup to retrieve data from the IMDS. We can also see the same behavior on a Noble paravirtualized instance: 2024-03-01 20:51:33,482 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [0/1] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 5.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1', 'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}} configuration 2024-03-01 20:51:33,488 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Read from http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/ (200, 3067b) after 1 attempts 2024-03-01 20:51:33,488 - ephemeral.py[DEBUG]: Skip ephemeral DHCP setup, instance has connectivity to {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'headers': {'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}, 'timeout': 5} 2024-03-01 20:51:33,489 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [0/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1', 'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}} configuration 2024-03-01 20:51:33,500 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Read from http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/ (200, 3067b) after 1 attempts 2024-03-01 20:51:33,501 - util.py[DEBUG]: Writing to /run/cloud-init/cloud-id-oracle - wb: [644] 7 bytes PROBLEM: On a Noble instance using Hardware-assisted (SR-IOV) networking, this is not working. cloud-init-local.service no longer has immediate connectivity to the IMDS. Since it cannot connect, in then attempts to create an ephemeral connection to the IMDS using DHCP. It is able to obtain a DHCP lease, but then when it tries to connect to the IMDS, the call just hangs. The call has no timeout, so this results in an instance that cannot be logged into even via the serial console because cloud- init is blocking the rest of boot. A simple cloud-init workaround is to add something along the lines of `timeout=2` to https://github.com/canonical/cloud- init/blob/main/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceOracle.py#L349 . This allows cloud-init to boot. Looking at the logs, we can see that cloud-init is unable to connect to the IMDS: 2024-03-05 14:23:54,836 - ephemeral.py[DEBUG]: Received dhcp lease on ens3 for 10.0.0.133/255.255.255.0 2024-03-05 14:23:54,837 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [0/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 2.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1', 'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:23:56,841 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Please wait 1 seconds while we wait to try again 2024-03-05 14:23:57,842 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [1/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 2.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1', 'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:23:59,847 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Please wait 1 seconds while we wait to try again 2024-03-05 14:24:00,847 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [2/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 2.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1', 'Authorization': 'Bearer Oracle'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:24:02,852 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [0/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v1/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v1/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 2.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:24:04,855 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Please wait 1 seconds while we wait to try again 2024-03-05 14:24:05,855 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [1/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v1/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v1/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 2.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:24:07,859 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: Please wait 1 seconds while we wait to try again 2024-03-05 14:24:08,859 - url_helper.py[DEBUG]: [2/3] open 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v1/instance/' with {'url': 'http://169.254.169.254/opc/v1/instance/', 'stream': False, 'allow_redirects': True, 'method': 'GET', 'timeout': 2.0, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'Cloud-Init/24.1~7g54599148-0ubuntu1'}} configuration 2024-03-05 14:24:10,863 - handlers.py[DEBUG]: finish: init-local/search-Oracle: FAIL: no local data found from DataSourceOracle 2024-03-05 14:24:10,863 - util.py[WARNING]: Getting data from <class 'cloudinit.sources.DataSourceOracle.DataSourceOracle'> failed 2024-03-05 14:24:10,863 - util.py[DEBUG]: Getting data from <class 'cloudinit.sources.DataSourceOracle.DataSourceOracle'> failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceOracle.py", line 370, in read_opc_metadata instance_data = _fetch(metadata_version, path="instance") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceOracle.py", line 346, in _fetch return readurl( ^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/url_helper.py", line 370, in readurl raise excps[-1] cloudinit.url_helper.UrlError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='169.254.169.254', port=80): Read timed out.

SUMMARY: I see two separate issues here: 1. Cloud-init should be able to deal with the lack of network in early boot. This can be fixed on the cloud-init side. 2. Early boot network connectivity works across every other series and instance type except for Noble using Hardware-assisted (SR-IOV) networking. I am unsure the cause of #2. ** Affects: cloud-images Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Networking broken in early boot on Oracle Native instances https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056194 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
