Public bug reported: I use a cloud config like this:
#cloud-config hostname: adt manage_etc_hosts: true Then I start an instance with "nova boot [...] adt-wily-amd64-puppet- test". This correctly creates /etc/hostname, but /etc/hosts is wrong: $ cat /etc/hostname adt $ cat /etc/hosts # Your system has configured 'manage_etc_hosts' as True. # As a result, if you wish for changes to this file to persist # then you will need to either # a.) make changes to the master file in /etc/cloud/templates/hosts.tmpl # b.) change or remove the value of 'manage_etc_hosts' in # /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or cloud-config from user-data # 127.0.1.1 adt-wily-amd64-puppet-test.novalocal adt [...] This results in the fully qualified host name not being resolvable, which breaks e. g. puppet: $ ping adt.novalocal ping: unknown host adt.novalocal $ sudo puppet agent --test --detailed-exitcodes Warning: Setting templatedir is deprecated.
