As to Joshua's question: Customization of hostname is using "hostnamectl set-hostname theNewHostName" which requires 'dbus.service' is running. We found the dbus.service might not be running when perl/cloud-init executes the hostnamectl command on Ubuntu18.04 (Open-vm-tools v10.2.0). As the workaround, We publish this KB to tell customer about this issue. Here is a thread that customer met and workaround this issue: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/240
