December 2017
Updated images provided on 2017-12-15. Major changes over previous versions:
-
Linux images
- All upstream updates, as usual
- Use bms-network-setup.py for creating ifcfg-* from network_data.json on Bare Metal.
- Make local_port_range an even number
- Boot time optimizations (especially SUSE12/42)
- Avoid cloud-init-wait-mds stalling on DNS requests
-
CentOS-7
- kmod-20-15.el7_4.6 is broken (does break override statements), resulting in Inifiniband drivers no longer loading. Fix by downgrading to el7_4.4 until RH fixes this.
- Note that detaching virtio (KVM ethX) network interfaces on Inifiniband flavors results in a kernel crash.
- Lower cloud-init retries on OpenStack Network DatSource, as it stupidly does it for non-existing (404) user_data and network_data.json, resulting in slow boot times.
-
SUSE
- Avoid waiting for interfaces as we can not distinguish between mandatory and optional interface in SLES12/openSUSE42 (wicked) any more; only wait short time and rely on cloud-init-wait-mds
- SLES12_SPx_SAPHANA images with SAP data provider (contributed by Huawei)
- SLES12: Add Modules and Add-On repositories, mostly disabled by default
-
