Issue #11666 has been updated by Oliver Hookins.
Every cloud provider will be using a form of virtualisation or containerisation which is available outside of cloud use cases (although I can't say I'm the authority). Xen DomU could just as easily be my laptop as it could be EC2. This just screams to me that overloading the virtual fact is the wrong way to go about this. Perhaps figuring out if a node is being used in a cloud is hard - too bad, these providers miss out being classified. At the very least it deserves another fact which should list the cloud provider; if and only if it can be reliably determined. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11666: Add is_ec2 and is_euca facts https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11666 Author: James Turnbull Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: 1.7.x Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/138 Affected Facter version: Sometimes you just want to know if a host is EC2 or Eucalyptus. This adds two facts in a similar vein to "is_virtual". -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
