[Bug 1874527] [NEW] Wrong EC2 hostname set if DHCP Options Set has multiple domain-name
Public bug reported:
Cloud Provider: AWS.
Cloud-init v. 19.3-2.amzn2.
Config says system_info: distro: amazon
Per
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html
the VPC DHCP Options set can have a domain-name value with multiple
domain names separated by spaces. However, if using this approach,
cloud-init sets an incorrect hostname. It appears to concatenate the
unqualified host name to the Options Set host names without spaces, and
truncating to a certain number of characters.
This is with "set-hostname" and "update-hostname" modules enabled, but
no other relevant cloud-init config.
For example, if your unqualified hostname is ip-10-30-10-155 and your
DHCP Options Set domain-name is "foo.bar.example.com
baz.bat.example.com" you might get an incorrect hostname such as
"ip-10-30-10-155.foo.bar.example.combaz.bat.ex"
This problem appears to be due to misinterpretation of the output of the
EC2 metadata service for "local-hostname", which responds with output
similar to above, but with spaces retained and no truncating, for
example: "ip-10-30-10-155.foo.bar.example.com baz.bat.example.com"
The cloud-init log output also mentions this problem, for example you
might have logs which look like:
