I have this same issue with one of my cloud-init centos vms. I log in using ssh keys, the root password was never set and there seems to be no way for me to set it. On Thu, Feb 7, 2019 at 10:32 AM Robert Crawford < robert.crawford4.14.10@gmail.com> wrote:

Okay, I'm confused does it take time for cloud init to apply?

I just use the run-one setup to specify the user/pass and networking/hostname. Everything works but the password doesn't. side note, does anyone know, now that I have this machine with no root password, how to set one? *Vincent Royer* *778-825-1057* <http://www.epicenergy.ca/> *SUSTAINABLE MOBILE ENERGY SOLUTIONS* On Thu, Feb 7, 2019 at 8:40 PM Strahil <hunter86_bg@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hey Vincent , Robert,

I have tries cloud-init and it works as expected. Of course, you need to install and enable the cloud-init service in your template.

How exactly are you trying to use cloud-init ?

So what I noticed is that in the logs it referenced the external IP of my oVirt instance, I set the dns on the client to the correct DNS and it would appear that the issue has cleared up.
