softlayer-networking

why

In order to support LVM in IBM Bluemix (softlayer cloud). We need to handle our own networking. The provisioning system wont be able to find your /etc(because its in a logical volume) to overwrite your networking config. So your VM comes up, but it has no network. This package will solve that.

directions

• Build this rpm.
• install it in your image template.
• When you import the image into bluemix, select the cloud-init box.

disclaimer

This is only useful until cloud-init fixes the bug around consuming network_data.json. This happened out of necessity. I apologize in advance for the terrible code.

pre-built

The rpm I included is for centos 6 64bit.
