Description rjes78 2016-03-11 12:55:55 UTC

Description of problem:
It would be really neat if you could fix so it's possible to run cloud-init at every run instead of only when using "run once".
I think I'm not alone using the following workflow:
Create VM -> Create Disk -> PXE install guest -> reboot -> ssh to the new server.
And if cloud-init is running after the pxe installation we have correct hostname from first boot and can send other cloud-init options very nice and neat.

Comment 1 Michal Skrivanek 2016-03-24 14:30:02 UTC

can you please describe exactly why is it not possible to do that today? Why would it be useful to re-send it again and again...to set different hostnames?

Comment 2 Tomas Jelinek 2016-06-24 09:21:12 UTC

Not sending cloud-init at each run is the behavior as designed. Therefore closing as notabug.

Please feel free to reopen if you will provide actual use-case where it would be useful.
