When provisioning with multiple eth0 addresses, /etc/resolv.conf is empty: Consider: root@tester:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/50-cloud-init.cfg # This file is generated from information provided by # the datasource. Changes to it will not persist across an instance. # To disable cloud-init's network configuration capabilities, write a file # /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following: # network: {config: disabled} auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 138.197.98.102 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 gateway 138.197.96.1 netmask 255.255.240.0 # control-alias eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.17.0.11 netmask 255.255.0.0 Which then yields an empty /etc/resolv.conf: root@tester:/run/resolvconf# cat interface/eth0.inet root@tester:/run/resolvconf# cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN The problem is that resolvconfg does pattern matching for eth*.inet. The second definition of eth0 has no nameserver and therefore overrides the definition. ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed -- 0.7.9-48-g1c795b9-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 with multiple eth0 definitions has no resolvers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
