[02:21] <vhosakot> Hi, I have a question about cloud-init in OpenStack images.
[02:26] <vhosakot> Anybody there ? :)
[11:23] <Odd_Bloke> smoser: Where are we on moving 0.7.x to git?  I've got a few bzr branches hanging around that I'll hold off on merging/proposing if it's happening...
[12:23] <Odd_Bloke> smoser: Unrelately, the clear_dhcp and if_down_up methods in https://code.launchpad.net/~sankaraditya/cloud-init/topic-stanguturi-vmware-support/+merge/277933 make me a little nervous.  Do you know if there is a "proper" way of doing this via the OS?
[15:10] <jgrimm> Odd_Bloke, fyi, smoser is out on vacation today, will be back tomorrow tho
[15:10] <Odd_Bloke> jgrimm: Ah, thanks. :)

[15:53] <vhosakot> Hi, would it possible for cloud-init to make a cloud instance join a multicast group by sending an IGMP join message while the instance boots ?  This will enable cloud instances receive multicast traffic in a cloud.
[16:07] <vhosakot> Hello, anybody there :)
[17:50] <vhosakot> ? :)
[17:53] <Odd_Bloke> vhosakot: o/
[17:53] <vhosakot> Odd_Bloke: \o/
[17:53] <Odd_Bloke> vhosakot: cloud-init can run any scripts you give it, so you should be able to make it do that. :)
[17:54] <Odd_Bloke> vhosakot: So if you construct appropriate user-data and pass that in to the instance, it should work.
[17:54] <vhosakot> Odd_Bloke: ok, so I can use the --user-data or --user-data-file argument of cloud-init to make the instance send IGMP join message while it boots. Is this right ?
[17:55] <Odd_Bloke> vhosakot: Yeah, assuming that the cloud you're on will allow it etc. :)
[17:56] <vhosakot> Odd_Bloke: Yes, OpenStack's nova has --user-data argument that is passed to cloud-init when the instance boots
[17:56] <Odd_Bloke> vhosakot: Oh, yeah, I mean assuming that IGMP multicast-y things work. :)
[17:58] <vhosakot> Odd_Bloke: yes, there will be a multicast sender in our cloud that responds to the IGMP join message sent by the instance
[17:58] <Odd_Bloke> vhosakot: Cool!  Good luck getting it set up!
[17:59] <vhosakot> Odd_Bloke: thanks!  do you anyone that has tried/done multicast with cloud-init
[17:59] <Odd_Bloke> vhosakot: I don't know anyone who's tried it, no.
[18:00] <vhosakot> Odd_Bloke: wow, I'm the first one.. thanks! have a great day :)
