xscontainer broken for latest CoreOS - cloud-init, etcd, and etcd2 depreciated.

[phatwila]

Hello,
I had put in a pull request but on further testing I see that cloud-init, etcd, and etcd2 have been depreciated removed in favor of using Ignition

https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/migrating-to-clcs.html

Is there a way to get this working for the latest version of CoreOS utilizing ignition?

Any updates on this? Can confirm it's not working in the latest coreos

@phatwila @soraxas Will raise this internally and come back when I know more.

my PR https://github.com/xenserver/xscontainer/pull/50/files is target for this,

This is tested with the latest alpha release 1871 and can work well.

But we do need to replace the etcd with ignition and I am preparing a fix for it later.

@liulinC man you just made my day! Looking forward to full ignition support as well!

Is this completely forsaken? Is there any hope that there is some side work laying around?

I think you shouldn't count on this. Also, usage has slightly changed, containers are often orchestrated via Kubernetes fore example. The original plugin idea is more a hack than a real solution. This also raise the question on what do you want to achieve on your side (functionally speaking).
