Azure: Record boot timestamps, system information, and diagnostic events
Collect and record the following information through KVP:
+ timestamps related to kernel initialization and systemd activation
of cloud-init services
+ system information including cloud-init version, kernel version,
distro version, and python version
+ diagnostic events for the most common provisioning error issues
such as empty dhcp lease, corrupted ovf-env.xml, etc.
+ increasing the log frequency of polling IMDS during reprovision.
DataSourceOracle: configure secondary NICs on Virtual Machines
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Instance Metadata Service provides network
configuration information for non-primary NICs. This commit introduces
support, on Virtual Machines[0], for fetching that network metadata,
converting it to v1 network-config[1] and combining it into the network
configuration generated for the primary interface.
By default, this behaviour is not enabled. Configuring the Oracle
datasource to `configure_secondary_nics` enables it:
Failures to fetch and generate secondary NIC configuration will log a
warning, but otherwise will not affect boot.
[0] The expected use of the IMDS-provided network configuration is
substantially different on Bare Metal Machines, so support for that
will be addressed separately.
[1] This is v1 config, because cloudinit.net.cmdline generates v1 config
and we need to integrate the secondary NICs into that configuration.
azure/net: generate_fallback_nic emits network v2 config instead of v1
The function generate_fallback_config is used by Azure by default when
not consuming IMDS configuration data. This function is also used by any
datasource which does not implement it's own network config. This simple
fallback configuration sets up dhcp on the most likely NIC. It will now
emit network v2 instead of network v1.
This is a step toward moving all components talking in v2 and allows us
to avoid costly conversions between v1 and v2 for newer distributions
which rely on netplan.
