Automatic Cloud Reboot On Updates

This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

Summary

Cloud users can provide cloud-init metadata when creating a Fedora cloud instance and that metadata can contain instructions to update all packages on the system and reboot the system if any of those updated packages need a reboot to go into effect. Fedora cloud instances should write the /var/run/reboot-required file if a reboot is needed after a dnf update so that cloud-init can reboot the instance.
