Hey there,
For those of you who use Fedora often on public cloud providers where
cloud-init handles the initial configuration, there's a change coming
for the very early DHCP request during the boot. ☁️
As reported in BZ 2247055[0], the existing dhclient binary comes from
ISC's dhcp and it stopped being maintained upstream in 2022. Cloud-init
uses dhclient during the very early setup process to get an IP address
for retrieving instance metadata.
Busybox provides udhcpc[1] and it works well for cloud-init's early boot
needs. Support for udhcpc was also added to cloud-init.
I've tested this on AWS and it's working well. You shouldn't notice a
difference when launching a cloud instance after this change, but I
wanted to ensure everyone was aware it was coming. 😉
Have a great rest of the week!
