Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have a PR in upstream cloudbase-init for feature parity with cloudinit
for VMware Datasource at launch.
It allows the Windows node VM to configure network based on the VM instance metadata
(guestinfo.metadata
) in VMware environment.
We need to enable NetworkConfigurationPlugin for Windows OVA for those scenarios
such as static IPs are used.
Describe the solution you'd like

Additional context
Note:
- The current cloudbase-init PR is still pending for review.
NetworkConfigurationPlugin in current version has no action so no negative impact when it is enabled while old cloudbase-init release is used. - The UserdataPlugin needs to be run after NetworkConfigurationPlugin to make sure userdata is applied after the network configuration is done.
