[RFE] Do not require /etc/sysconfig/cloud-info to exist or create it upon installation
Last modified: 2013-01-04 08:10:31 EST
Description of problem: Currently, aeolus-audrey-agent requires /etc/sysconfig/cloud-info to exist in order to execute. The contents of the file must be one of the following: For RHEVm: CLOUD_TYPE="rhevm" For EC2 CLOUD_TYPE=ec2 For vSphere CLOUD_TYPE=vsphere This file is created by imagefactory. If, however, the image is not created by imagefactory (for example, in the case of importing an existing image) then the installed audrey agent fails to execute and produced the following error message. "failed accessing file /etc/sysconfig/cloud-info, retrying in X seconds ..." This is a RFE to not require the cloud-info file or create it upon installation of aeolus-audrey-agent package. Without this functionality it will require those working in brown field environments who wish to import images to take extra measures before importing the images instead of just installing the aeolus-audrey-agent package and importing.
If an image is built using image factory the /etc/sysconfig/cloud-info file will exist. If an image is manually modified to include the Audrey Agent then the /etc/sysconfig/cloud-info file must also be manually added in the correct format. Marking will not fix.
