Honestly, I don't know what to say from a Nova side if cloud-init isn't correctly running on the guest.
The only interaction that would impact Nova would be the metadata service, which could be unavailable, or, or... but if the guest just doesn't run cloud-init and with other official images it does work properly, then I don't think this is a Nova problem. Moving the bug to Opinion for the Nova project, but please change the status back to New once you find evidence that Nova is messing up with metadata or whatever else but not the guest image. ** Changed in: nova Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!

This started after we added the file: /etc/nova/release with the contents: [Nova] vendor = Company product = Company Cloud package = "" This was specified in the Kolla configuration file in /etc/kolla/config/release, which is copied to /etc/nova/release on all compute nodes. All images deployed fine previously, which have the appropriate os_distro and os_type to "ubuntu" and "linux", respectively. Deployment testing is pretty simple, such as: openstack server create --image 72270019-df0d-4d7e-a90c-dbc1d64b98db --network TestNetwork001 --flavor t5sd.4xlarge --key-name testkey --security-group AllowSSHInbound TestUbuntuServer001 After adding a floating IP, we tested connecting via SSH. The connection failed. After removing all items from the "release" file above, so only the stanza [Nova] existed, and re-deploying Kolla-Ansible, verifying that the empty release file was installed on all compute nodes, and finally restarting all Nova containers, the problem goes away.
