How to reproduce:

On AWS EC2:

• launch a CentOS 7.6 instance with IPv4 only
• once running: assign an IPv6 from AWS EC2, and reboot the instance
• while the instance data is properly populated: the network configuration does not assign the IPv6 to the instance (no connection).

Unsuccessful turnaround attempts:

A) /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-ipv6-networking.cfg
network:
version: 1
config:
- type: physical
name: eth0
subnets:
- type: dhcp6

B) There has been a debate in the CentOS github as to whether AWS was IPv6 RFC compliant, read the entire thread here:
coreos/bugs#1828
A solution provided there for Ubuntu cannot be applied on CentOS.

Hi,

Thanks for filing a bug. Would you be able to confirm which version of cloud-init is installed in the image? And can you attach your /var/log/cloud-init.log as well as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* config files?

Note, cloud-init has support for configuring ipv6 in ec2 since 18.3 I believe so this should be fixed in master. You could also try using the cloud-init daily build:

Do I have to do anything or has the bug been verified/fixed?

Hey Chris,

We're waiting for the debug information that Ryan requested in comment #1 to be able to move this forward. I'm setting this back to Incomplete, please move it to New once you have attached that information.

Thanks!

Dan
