In this talk, I will first review what happened in the cloud-init world over the last year: from the new cloud identifications feature and additional OS support to performance collection and enhancements and the challenges requiring us to expand continuous integration pipeline reviews.
Then, in a second part of this talk, I will cover a more specific talk on the changes to cloud-init test and development automation. The team now has initial integration test cases utilizing Linux Containers (lxc) to prevent regressions and have future plans to develop and expand these across a KVM-backed and to actual clouds.
