NOMAD PODMAN DRIVER FIXES SILENT NETWORK FAILURE
By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp
Static IP assignments were being silently ignored on Podman containers, forcing them onto DHCP despite explicit configuration.
The Nomad Podman driver had a critical bug where static IP configuration (static_ips, ipv4_address, ipv6_address, static_mac) was discarded at runtime [1]. The Networks field in ContainerNetworkConfig used an incorrect JSON tag ('newNetworks' instead of 'Networks'), causing Podman's API to silently drop the network settings. Containers would start successfully but receive dynamic DHCP addresses, creating a configuration drift that's difficult to debug in production. The fix corrects the JSON serialization and adds support for custom network name resolution [2]. On the Azure front, terraform-provider-azurerm is expanding PowerShell Core version support in function app resources [3], while acceptance tests across multiple Azure services are being hardened [4]. AWS CloudControl provider continues its steady release cadence with v1.87.0 staging [5].
