Fixed In Version: rhel-guest-image-6.4-2
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
* Metadata access is handled by the network node, and the cloud-init service uses the metadata at startup time. Previously, the cloud-init service did not have "NOZEROCONF=yes" configured. Consequently, access to the subnet 169.254.0.0/16 range was not routed to the network node, so the cloud-init service failed to work. This update adds "NOZEROCONF=yes" to cloud images in the /etc/sysconfig/network file. Users should avoid turning on the zeroconf route in these images. To disable the zeroconf route at system boot time, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file as root and add "NOZEROCONF=yes" to a new line at the end of the file.

This one to go back to VERIFIED status as I interfered with its state in the first place.

Put I can't (and probably shouldn't) do that.
