Shahar, Are you launching on EC2 or a different cloud backend? If EC2, I am not sure, but I don't think you can set an VM's IP address on EC2. So you might be encountering an EC2 issue. It looks as if you are not using user-data alone but the yaml formated meta-data, which user-data can be a part of, in a iso or vfat filesystem with a known label. The log below may be from one of your earlier runs, before you started using genisoimage to pass in the meta-data. Does the lates log file and shed any light on the IP address issue? I'm not overly familiar with it but I know there is a utility in cloud-utils called 'cloud-localds' [1] that creates a iso or vfat. the --help output will give example usage, and you can look at the created disk image. If you are launching on Openstack it uses the data source: "config-drive-v2", which is an option for passing metadata to instances in OpenStack folsom and later (doc added at [2]) [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-utils-dev/cloud-utils/trunk/view/head:/bin/cloud-localds [2] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/16504/ Hope this helps and let me know what the latest log file shows if you need more help.
