As announced, cloud-init 19.1 was released last Friday! From the announcement, some highlights include:

  • Azure datasource telemetry, network configuration and ssh key hardening
  • new config module for interacting with third party drivers on Ubuntu
  • EC2 Classic instance support for network config changes across reboot
  • Add support for the com.vmware.guestInfo OVF transport.
  • Scaleway: Support ssh keys provided inside an instance tag.
  • Better NoCloud support for case-insensitive fs labels.
  • SuSE network sysconfig rendering fixes for IPv6, default routes and startmode

It was really exciting to see that we had a large number of community commits this release cycle as well!

Version 19.1 is already available in Ubuntu Eoan and stable release updateds (SRU) to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic) and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) are also complete.
