[Bug 894279] [NEW] cloud-init fails to fetch metadata with OpenStack

Mon Nov 28 06:58:51 UTC 2011

Tested the UEC Lucid, Maverick, Natty and Oneiric images with OpenStack
Diablo. When launching multiple (20+) instances at the same time the
OpenStack metadata server becomes quite slow and cloud-init fails to
fetch the metadata due to its short timeout of 2 (3 for Oneiric) seconds
in DataSourceEc2.py. This is an unreasonably small timeout value. I'd
suggest a timeout of 60 secs and 5 retries as the default.
