Cloud-init currently doesn’t parse ipv6 network information from the OpenStack Nova's disk.config.
Here’s the code that does the parsing: https://github.com/number5/cloud-init/blob/master/cloudinit/distros/rhel.py#L65-L98

Whereas, the IPv6 network-scripts/ifcfg file is expected to be:

The conversion is missing a lot of options.

Can u bug smoser or jayF on IRC. I know there has been some though about redoing the network writing functionality and it may be better to just wait for that to appear (or help make it appear) instead of adding on more things here...

Joshua just let me know this ticket was here. I pushed a branch yesterday that should parse static IPv6 network configuration from a config disk:

This is my first time working with cloud-init code so it might not be the best quality fix. ;)

This is fixed in cloud-init 0.7.7.
