Can I make bit change to cloud-init if I want to force usage of static IP inside VM?

Is it bad practice to put static IP in virtual images and what are considerations?

What's your use case for static? Most applications should listen on 0.0.0.0 which would help out if you are in need of statics. Your 'static address' is going to come from floating IPs.

HI,

If you want to assign static IP's via cloud-init then you should get to know about config drives in openstack.

IT is recommended that the subnet in which your VM is present should not have DHCP enabled because that will make the VM get the IP leased from DHCP server.

Also please note that in order for the features of cloud-init to work the images of VM should have the package of cloud-init installed and the metadata agents should be configured properly in openstack.
