Cloudstack userdata not working with 0.7.3-0ubuntu2

[Loic Lambiel]

Hi,

It seems that Cloudstack userdata isn't working with 0.7.3.

It works great with 0.7.2

[CLOUDINIT] cc_rightscale_userdata.py[DEBUG]: Failed to get raw userdata in module rightscale_userdata

Log file attached

Thanks

It works on 13.04 with cloud-init 0.7.2

Does not work on 13.10 with either cloud-init 0.7.3 or 0.7.2

Hi,

The culprit is the upgrade of boto from 2.3.0 in 13.04 to 2.9.6 in 13.10. To fetch userdata, cloud-init relies on a utility function
from boto.utils, the URL building method has changed in boto and now includes a trailing slash. I've reported the bug upstream, but manually constructing the cloudstack user-data URL in DataSourceCloudStack in cloud-init would also be worthwhile, since changes in the way EC2 behaves would not impact cloudstack deployments.

The upstream issue in boto is registered at: https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/1856

Hi,
  From ubuntu's perspective, this is fix-released (as it is fixed in Trusty).
  From cloud-init's perspective, this is fixed in trunk (I think).

  I'm going to close this as fix-released. If either of those statements are not true, feel free to re-open the bug.
  Thanks for taking the time to file the bug and sorry it has taken so long to get around to triaging it.
