Comment 0 for bug 1691135

As reported by user niluje, the ifi the initramfs tools write a config that has static networking, then cloud-init would not populate the address field in its rendered network config (_klibc_to_config_entry).

The result would be incomplete or invalid configuration, and attempt to render that configuration would result in stacktrace due to KeyError.

This can be seen in trunk with the net-convert tool as below. Editing the yaml and uncommenting the 'address' line will work.

$ cat /tmp/foo.yaml
network:
  version: 1
  config:
   - name: eth1
     type: physical
     subnets:
      - 'type': 'static'
        'broadcast': '10.0.0.255'
        'control': 'manual'
        'gateway': '10.0.0.1'
        'dns_search': ['foo.com']
        'netmask': '255.255.255.0'
        'dns_nameservers': ['10.0.1.1']
# 'address': '10.0.0.2'
EOF
