Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which environments are covered by this update?

The update applies to cloud-netconfig EC2, GCE, and Azure packages on SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5, including the Rancher variants listed.

2

What operational changes are included besides IPv6 EC2 metadata support?

The update removes the cloud-netconfig-nm subpackage, moves the NetworkManager dispatcher script into the main packages, removes the dependency on sysconfig-netconfig, and improves log-level handling.

3

Is this update relevant for EC2 instances using an IPv6 metadata endpoint?

Yes. It adds support for an IPv6 EC2 IMDS endpoint, so EC2 deployments relying on that endpoint should apply the update.
