cloud-init isn't running script in per-instance directory

  • 1.  cloud-init isn't running script in per-instance directory

    Posted Tue October 17, 2023 12:36 AM

    I have just installed a new version of cloud-init (cloud-init-22.1-5.noarch) and captured the AIX 7.3.1.2 image with our post customization script placed in /var/lib/cloud/scripts/per-instance/ directory, complete with execute permissions. However upon deployment, this script never gets called, at all.  I have checked the cloud-init log files, and there are no ERRORs reported there. There are some WARNINGS though:

    # grep WARNING cloud-init-output.log

    Any idea what I need to check next?

    It turns out that this issue had a very simple solution. The new cloud-init that I am using is RPM based and uses the following directory:

    /opt/freeware/var/lib/cloud/scripts/per-instance

    Instead of:

    /var/lib/cloud/scripts/per-instance/

    as in the old AIX LPP based package.
