Bug Description

[Impact] CloudSigma is not supported by Cloud-init for 12.04. This SRU is a cloud-enablement request.

[Test Case]
1. Build image from -proposed, upload it to CloudSigma, OpenStack, Windows Azure, EC2 and Joyent
   - confirm that non-CloudSigma Clouds boot
   - confirm that /var/lib/cloud-init.log is clean of CloudSigma Datasource errors
   - confirm that CloudSigma boots and is accessable via SSH
   - confirm that CloudSigma /var/log/cloud-init.log is clean of datasource errors
2. Upgrade cloud-init on EC2, OpenStack, Windows Azure, and Joyent
   - install from -proposed
   - reboot instance
   - confirm that CloudSigma DS is ignored

[Regression Potential] Low for existing instances. The CloudSigma Datasource will be enabled by default. However, for existing instances Cloud-init is configured to use a white list of datasources: the new CloudSigma Datasource will be ignored.

The is also low for new images. The CloudSigma Datasource has several guards to prevent it from being the controlling datasource. The Datasource is, however, turned on by default. It is a code backport from the 14.04/14.10 datasource.
    - it will not run on ARM hardware
    - it checks the hypervisor to make sure that it is on CloudSigma
    - it includes timeouts to prevent it from hanging an instance

cloud-init.log Edit (6.5 KiB, text/plain)

I just tried this, but couldn't get it to work. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

Here's what I did:

* Fetched the latest Precise image
* Mounted and chrooted into the env
* Installed the three packages from here (https://launchpad.net/~utlemming/+archive/ubuntu/lp1363260/+packages)
* Uploaded the disk image and booted created a machine that used the image

Judging by the cloud-init.log from the VM, it doesn't seem like the provider was properly picked up.

The reason for the failure is that for 12.04 the DataSource is not enabled by default. If you edit /etc/cloud/cloud.d/90-dpkg.cfg and set it to "CloudSigma" it should work.

Per today's discussion, I'll hold off until the first test build.
