RedHat 8 and 9 not getting private IP

[krkardos]

We are trying to build Red Hat 8 and Red Hat 9 images on OpenTelekomCloud, but Packer can not get the newly created Virtual Machines IP addresses. Packer version is 1.11.2, huawei cloud plugin is 1.2.1

Here is the code:

variable "auth_url" {
  type = string
  default = "https://iam.eu-de.otc.t-systems.com/v3"
}

variable "access_key" {
  type = string
}

variable "secret_key" {
  type = string
}

variable "region" {
  type = string
  default = "eu-de"
}

variable "project_name" {
  type = string
  default = "eu-de"
}

variable "vpc_id" {
  type = string
}

variable "subnet_id" {
  type = string
}

variable "imagever" {
  type = string
}

source "huaweicloud-ecs" "otc" {
  // The name of newly created image
  image_name          = "OTC-test"
  image_description   = "test"
  // auth
  auth_url            = var.auth_url // Standard OpenStack v3 auth endpoint
  access_key          = var.access_key
  secret_key          = var.secret_key
  //user_data           = ""
  // OTC default settings
  region              = var.region
  project_name        = var.project_name
  flavor              = "s3.large.2"
  volume_type         = "SSD"
  volume_size         = 25
  subnets            = [var.subnet_id]
  vpc_id              = var.vpc_id
  //security_groups     = var.security_groups
  //image_tags          = var.image_tags
  source_image_filter {
    filters {
      name = "Enterprise_RedHat_8_amd64_bios_latest"
    }
    most_recent =  true
  }
    // connection settings
    //eip_type            = "5_bgp"
    //eip_bandwidth_size  = 5
  ssh_username        = "linux"
  ssh_ip_version      = "4"
  ssh_timeout         = "30m"
}

build {
  sources = ["source.huaweicloud-ecs.otc"]

  provisioner "ansible" {
    groups          = [ "otc" ]
    playbook_file  = "./test.yml"
    ansible_env_vars = [ "ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False" ]
    extra_arguments = [ "--extra-vars", "imagever=${var.imagever}" ]
    use_proxy = "false"
  }
}

Here is the output:

At part of "Using SSH communicator to connect: "
Private IP should be appear, but not appears and not receives. On other distribution, for example Centos, Ubuntu, it is working fine with the same code.

With older plugin version, all distribution can be build. ( packer 1.10.3 with huaweicloud plugin 1.1.0 )
Can you please check what can be the problem here ?

Currently, the packer-plugin-huaweicloud only supports Huawei Cloud and does not support other partner cloud at this time.

I think the problem is not that. We are using your plugin for OTC for a long time and it is working fine. Also we can simply create Oracle, Ubuntu, Centos images with this plugin version, but Red Hat 8 and Red Hat 9 images can not be created because packer does not get the ECSs IP address. I have to highlight, that it was working fine with the previous plugin version, my issue only exists with this version and with red hat 8-9 images.

Can you please check what was changed ?
