Hostname via Cloud-Init on CentOS running on EC2 do not work
7,094
I haven't tried this on the CentOS 6 AMI, but this works for CentOS 7:
NEWHOSTNAME="myserver01.example.com"
CLOUDTMP=`mktemp $TMPDIR/$(basename $0).XXXXXX 2>/dev/null` || exit 1
cat <<EOF > $CLOUDTMP
#!/bin/bash
hostnamectl set-hostname $NEWHOSTNAME
echo "preserve_hostname: true" > /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99_hostname.cfg
EOF
aws ec2 run-instances --user-data file://$CLOUDTMP --cli-input-json file://path/to/file.json

I setup the cloud-config on the user-data for a CentOS 6.4's EC2 instance, and it looks like do not apply.
#cloud-config manage_etc_hosts: true preserve_hostname: false hostname: myserver01.example.com
On the cloud-init logs I see:
cloud-init[DEBUG]: preserve_hostname is set. not managing hostname
How can I force to it set the hostname ?
