    future resize operations. (LP: #1611074)
  * New upstream snapshot.
    - Add activate_datasource, for datasource specific code paths.

  * debian/cloud-init.templates: enable DigitalOcean by default [Ben Howard]
  * New upstream snapshot.
    - systemd/cloud-init-local.service:
      + replace 'Wants' and 'After' on local-fs.target with more granular
        After=systemd-remount-fs.service and RequiresMountsFor=/var/lib
        and Before=sysinit.target.
        This is done run sufficiently early enough to update /etc/fstab.
        (LP: #1611074)
      + add Before=NetworkManager.service so that cloud-init can render
        NetworkManager network config before it would apply them.
    - systemd/cloud-init.service:
      + add Before=sysinit.target and DefaultDependencies=no (LP: #1611074)
      + drop Requires=networking.service to work where networking.service is
        not needed.
      + add Conflicts=shutdown.target
      + drop unnecessary Wants=local-fs.target
    - net: support reading ipv6 dhcp config from initramfs [LaMont Jones]
      (LP: #1621615)

      config provided on kernel cmdline.
    - lxd: Update network config for LXD 2.3 [Stéphane Graber] (LP: #1640556)
    - Decode unicode types in decode_binary [Robert Schweikert]
    - Allow ephemeral drive to be unpartitioned [Paul Meyer]
    - subp: add 'update_env' argument which allows for more easily adding
      environment variables to a subprocess call.
    - Adjust mounts and disk configuration for systemd. (LP: #1611074)
    - DataSources:
      + Ec2: protect against non-dictionary in block-device-mapping.
      + AliYun: Add new datasource for Ali-Cloud ECS, that is
        available but not enabled by default [kaihuan.pkh]
      + DigitalOcean: use meta-data for network configuration and
        enable data source by default. [Ben Howard]
      + OpenNebula: replace parsing of 'ip' command with similar function

Title:
  unit tests fail as non-root on maas deployed system

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Committed
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Yakkety:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  === Begin SRU Template ===
  [Impact]
  Running cloud-init's unit test cases on a system deployed by MAAS would
  fail.  The reason is that the non-root user would not be able to read
  files with MAAS node credentials in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d

  We want this change SRU so that an attempt to build and run tests on a
  system deployed by maas will work rather than fail due to unit test failure.

  [Test Case]
  Run unit tests on a system deployed by maas, or even just with:
    f=/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg_maas.cfg
    sh -c 'mkdir -p "${1%/*}" && touch "$1" && chmod ugo-r "$1"' -- "$f"
    tox -e py3

  [Regression Potential]
  This was just to fix a build break or unit tests being run.
  Changes are only to unit tests.
  === End SRU Template ===

  Observed Behavior:

  On a system deployed by MAAS I checked out master and then tried to immediately build it:
  > git clone https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init
  > cd cloud-init
  > ./packages/bddeb

  I get a number of errors around permission issues around this file:
  PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: \'/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg_maas.cfg\'

  See: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23354559/
   or formatted better: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23374383/

  If I run as root however, it build as expected.

  Expected Behavior:
  Running bddeb works as a non-root user.
