dracut/15coreos-network: enable initramfs networking on Azure #761
Conversation
This enables networking in initramfs on Azure, via a platform condition. While the Ignition configuration may be self-contained locally on the config-drive, other bits referenced by the provisioning flow (e.g. Afterburn hostname and boot check-in) always require reaching remote endpoints.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'll reiterate here I still think at some point we should take advantage of the fact that the metadata endpoint is "link local" and make it so that NM has first-class support for something like networkmanager-primary-link-local-up.target.
(But bigger picture, maybe there isn't a huge amount of value in avoiding DHCP on clouds because we generally expect most people to use Ignition includes)

@cgwalters That used to be somewhat tracked in coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#460 though I've closed it now. Can you file a separate tracker issue specifically for this? |

For Azure specifically and thus the scope of this PR, the wireserver is not link-local (in the traditional sense of IPv4LL / RFC3927) but it's a global public IPv4 ( |
