Public bug reported: [Impact]
compute-image-packages is provided by Google for installation within guests that run on Google Compute Engine. It is a collection of tools and daemons, packaged as gce-compute-image-packages, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run properly on their platform. Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu releases. As such, updating gce-compute-image-packages to more recent upstream releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to function properly in their environment. With this release we also add a new binary package to the suite - google-compute-engine-oslogin which is for a future feature of using OS Login on GCE VM instances. [Test Case] When a new version of gce-compute-image-packages is uploaded to -proposed, the following will be done: * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project * the CPC team will write new automated tests to cover new testable functionality (if any) in the new package * the automated testing that the CPC team normally runs against GCE images before they are published will be run against the -proposed image * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation. If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done. [Other Information] This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the following MRE: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gce-compute-image-packages-Updates [Original Bug Text] GCE team has released some versions of its guest agents (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/releases) since you published your latest package version. So there are some new features and bug fixes that would be great to have in all Ubuntu releases. The current latest upstream version is 20181023. This update also might help us doing some QA on Ubuntu GCE images, as you can see here: https://k8s-testgrid.appspot.com/google-gce-compute- image-tools#linux-image-tests&width=20 This is a test suite that is executed against all Linux distros images, and since the beginning of this month Ubuntu has been tested too. This test suite has been improved in order to support Ubuntu.
