Hello,
The version of cloud-init packaged in CentOS 7 Extras is rather old (0.7.5, which was released in 2014). It is missing some functionality that we would like to use, as well as important bug fixes. Before I tackle rebuilding the package myself, I would like to know if there is a plan to update extras to a newer cloud-init version, or if has anyone has already updated cloud-init and would be happy to share the spec?
Many thanks,
Pierre Riteau Chameleon Lead DevOps Engineer

I have just created a newer one for testing .. it is here:
https://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-extras/cloud-init/20170705233059/0.7.9-3.el7...
See if that one works for you and provide us some feedback .. it is version 0.7.9-3.el7.centos
Once we get some positive feedback and work out any bugs, this one will get released.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

We’ve tested this package and haven’t noticed any issue.
The functionality that we wanted from this new version (specifying uid for users created by cloud-init) works fine.

We were happy to discover yesterday that cloud-init 0.7.9 is now included in base/7/x86_64. Thanks to everyone who made it possible!
