Hi, This does look like it would be useful. It seems like the thing I should do is : once per instance remove /etc/machine-id and run systemd-machine-id-setup
Ideally i think is that any system where the instance-id is a uuid, we could just populate /etc/machine-id with that instance-id. What wasnt clear was whether or not this would be sufficient. systemd-machine-id-setup does not indicate the proper way to provide a machine id other than letting it randomly generate one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563951 Title: Cloud-init does not initialize systemd machine id To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1563951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
