Enable DMI_SYSFS #18

Open szarkos opened 6 years ago

szarkos commented 6 years ago

Cloud-init uses a DMI value that is set on all Azure hosts to detect that it’s running on Azure, and another DMI parameter for the VM unique ID which it uses as the instance ID: https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init/tree/tools/ds-identify#n766

It reads both these values via sysfs, so we need kernel support for exporting these variables via /sys.

Argh, I missed this PR. Is this still something you want merged?

@szarkos @shirgall is this repo superseeded by another one ? Maintained up to date?

Both of us have moved on to other projects.
