## Spotlight: cloud-init analyze

cloud-init now has an [analyze][1] feature to aid in doing boot time
analysis. This tool parses the cloud-init log into formatted and sorted
events to assist in determining long running steps during instance
initialization. The output is similar to systemd analyze.

## cloud-init, curtin, and simplestreams

### cloud-init

- Add IPv6 support to EC2 Datasource. The datasource discovers whether
  IPv4 or IPv6 needs to be configured for every NIC by talking to AWS'
  metadata service (LP: #1639030)
- Fix url_helper import logic to better handle missing optional package
  dependency python-oauthlib on RedHat/CentOS environments (LP:
  #1713760)
- Fix two modules, landscape and puppet, that were incorrectly using
  six.StringIO (LP: #1710932, LP: #1699282)
- User's can now call `cloud-init devel schema --config-file
  <cloud-config.yaml> --annotate` for local validation of ntp and runcmd
  cloud-config options. For more see `cloud-init devel schema --doc`
- Create initial draft of an [SRU exception][2]
- Mirroring Launchpad daily build results in Jenkins
