[Bug 813295] Re: oneiric images do not run in eucalyptus

[Scott Moser]

I'm attaching a simple reproducing test case.
My guess is that the issue is that the [lack of] headers that the Eucalyptus meta data service returns causes issues with python-urllib2.

This testcase works fine on alpha-1 and fails after upgrade.

Here are the differences in headers sent by EC2 (where it works) and
Eucalyptus (where it fails):

=== EC2 Metadata Service ===
$ wget -S -q -O /dev/null http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id
  HTTP/1.0 200 OK
  Content-Type: text/plain

Title:
  oneiric images do not run in eucalyptus

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've tried running an oneiric alpha2 image on 2 different eucalyptus
  clouds (internal canonical, and public eucalyptus cloud).  Both
  instances have timed out on metadata service.

  I really do not think this is a cloud-init bug at the moment, but am
  opening it here until i find more information.

  The images *did* run in alpha1.

  One bit of possibly relevant information, both clouds are running the
  oneiric kernel after kexec from a lucid era kernel using
