Public bug reported: Systemd uses /etc/machine-id file to uniquely identify the machine and to provide machine ID to D-Bus. This file is generated with `systemd- machine-id-setup` command that should be run on system installation (or at least when a system is provisioned). However, cloud-init does not do this.
As far as I can see, all Wily Werewolf VMs provisioned in EC2 have the same machine-id ff1bed6402c14c57ac03a074cdb7479e. ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in 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-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
