Hi Jerome, Mark, If there has a conclusion on this bug, please let us know, thanks. Hi All, Apologies for the delay - we just held a meeting today with MS to review this. The full story is a bit more complex then we can cover here but on the surface it appears we may be able to have the enabled as the default setting only enables two WALA agent extensions: - Linux Diagnostics (telemetry data) - VM Access (ssh access if a VM image fails to start) But as I said, the full story is a bit more complex as there are other extensions that could be activates by a customer and the impact to a RHEL image is not clear. We have asked MS to provide us with an architectural overview and more details - they have agreed to provide this to us by COB next Tue and a follow-up mtg. will be held next Wed or Thu. We're pushing to get this resolved as quickly as possible but until next week please hold off until we know more. -m A patch request to disable AutoUpdate was made here by Wei Shi: Bug 1387783 - [WALA]Request to package WALA 2.2.0 into RHEL 7 Repo https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1387783#c6 Mark, John, QE have confidence to ship 2.2.0 on 7.3 batch update 1, so would you like to give us a ack? Dave, Are we able to reuse RHBA-2016:24814-01? For bz#1374115, would you mind to write a patch and rebuild a new one? You can reference to: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Cloud:Tools/python-azure-agent/agent-no-auto-update.patch?expand=1 http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/yakkety/walinuxagent Our purpose is to disable AutoUpdate.Enabled in file waagent.conf I will rebuild the package with the patch referenced above. Verified in WALinuxAgent-2.2.0-2.el7 package in RHEL-7.3-20161019.0. 1. Fresh install: The "AutoUpdate.Enabled=n" is set in the waagent.conf. 2. Update: Issue is not fixed. When we update from WALA-2.0.16 to WALA-2.2.0, there's no "AutoUpdate.Enabled" item inside the waagent.conf, which means the AutoUpdate feature is enabled. The first issue is fixed. The second issue is not fixed. Hi PM,
QE still has problem to completly disable AutoUpdate:
1. For customer who install wala freshly (eg. rpm -i), our patch could disable AutoUpdate as we expected. --- PASS
2. But for customer who update wala package (eg. rpm -U), because wala rpm update won't replace config file with the new one which have "AutoUpdate=n" parameter, it will fall back to default method which same as AutoUpdate=y, it's n ot our expected result. --- FAILED
For scenario 2, QE do NOT found a patch to reference from the community, so here are our suggestions and looking forward to your advice:
1. Wrote patch to fix scenario 2
1) Ask Microsoft to provide the patch to fix (This method seems too hard because it's a vendor issue, but we have already file a issue on github)
2) Find someone in Red Hat to wrote a patch to fix it
2. Do NOT fix scenario 2, add a notice on errata document to customer like below:
This version introduce a new parameter "AutoUpdate" which will auto-update goal state processing, if you update from a older version, we suggest you turn it off by set "AutoUpdate.Enabled=n" in /etc/waagent.conf
Hi, Per the Azure agent team, this feature will remain enabled by default in the WALA code: https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/issues/473. Would it be possible to just document this for for now (option #2 above)? Verify in WALinuxAgent-2.2.0-3.el7 RHEL-7.3-20161019.0. Result is pass. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1387783 *** |
