RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Huijuan Zhao 2020-01-10 09:18:06 UTC 
Created attachment 1651206 [details]
cloud-init.log

Description of problem:
Launch instance which enabled nested virtualization on OpenStack, failed to write ssh keys to authorized_keys, which will cause failed to login instance.

Reboot the instance, can write ssh keys successful and can login instance successful.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.2.0-20191219.0 (kernel-4.18.0-167.el8.x86_64)
cloud-init-18.5-8.el8.x86_64

ENV: OpenStack

How reproducible:
50%
Tested 6 times, reproduced 3 times

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch instance on OpenStack with Flavor ci.nested.virt.m1.medium (This Flavor enabled nested virtualization)
2. Login the instance
    # ssh cloud-user@IP

Actual results:
After step2, login failed:
$ ssh cloud-user@IP
cloud-user@IP: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).

Check the console log:

Expected results:
After step2, should login instance successful

Additional info:
1. Scenario 1:  RHEL-8.2 + Flavor (ci.nested.virt.m1.medium)
     Can reproduce the issue
2. Scenario 2:  RHEL-8.2 + Flavor (others, which disabled the nested virtualization) (such as: m1.medium or ci.m1.micro)
     Can NOT reproduce the issue
3. Scenario 1:  RHEL-7.8 + Flavor (ci.nested.virt.m1.medium)
     Can NOT reproduce the issue
Comment 2 Huijuan Zhao 2020-02-04 10:15:25 UTC 
Also meet this issue when disable nested virtualization.

Test ENV:
RHEL-8.2.0-20191219.0-x86_64 & cloud-init-18.5-9.el8 + Flavor(m1.medium)

Detail test steps please refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1785648#c3
Comment 3 Huijuan Zhao 2020-02-05 09:51:36 UTC 
Update more test scenarios:

1. Scenario 1:  RHEL-8.2(4.18.0-167.el8.x86_64) +  cloud-init-18.5-8.el8 + Flavor(m1.medium)
     Can reproduce the issue (reproducible rate: about 50%)
2. Scenario 2:  RHEL-8.2(4.18.0-167.el8.x86_64) +  cloud-init-18.5-9.el8 + Flavor (m1.medium)
     Can reproduce the issue (tested 2 times, both can reproduce)
3. Scenario 1:  RHEL-7.8(3.10.0-1121.el7.x86_64) + cloud-init-18.5-6.el7 + Flavor(ci.nested.virt.m1.medium, m1.medium, ci.m1.micro)
     Can NOT reproduce the issue (tested 4 times, did not reproduce)


Test platform: OpenStack

Test steps:
1.Launch instance A with image RHEL-8.2.0-20191219.0-x86_64 & cloud-init-18.5-8.el8, Flavor is m1.medium
Login instance A with cloud-user successful.

2.Login instance A, clear instance A with below commands
# rm -rf /var/lib/cloud /var/log/cloud-init* /var/log/messages /etc/sudoers.d/* /mnt/swapfile /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-* /etc/resolv.conf
# userdel -rf cloud-user
# hostnamectl set-hostname localhost.localdomain
# sed -i '/cloud-user/d' /etc/sudoers

3.Create image with instance A
# nova stop InstanceA    
# nova image-create --poll InstanceA imagename

4.Launch a new instance B with image created in step3.

5.Login instance B with cloud-user failed:
# ssh cloud-user@IP
cloud-user@IP: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).

6. Reboot instance B, login it again with cloud-user successful


According to the above steps:
rhel-8.2(both cloud-init-18.5-8.el8 and cloud-init-18.5-9.el8) can reproduce the issue with about 50% reproducible rate
rhel-7.8 did NOT reproduce the issue.

Eduardo, if you need the test ENV to debug the issue, please ping me anytime, thanks!
