Network down in VMs after update of cloud-init or CentOS

After updating the cloud-init package to version >=0.7.7, which is used in our official CentOS images, the network interface name in your VMs may change. WARNING: This may lead to network interfaces being down after a reboot! Please be aware, that this may also affect your firewall and application configuration.

The new cloud-init package reads the interface name from the VM configuration on SmartOS. The default name of network interfaces in KVM virtual machines in Danube Cloud is net<id>. However, the old cloud-init ignored this and usually the NICs were named eth<id> in your Linux guest OS. Our old CentOS images have a network auto-configuration in @/etc/rc.local@, which expects only interfaces named eth<id>.
