Issue #10508 has been updated by Ken Barber.
Patrick, Not necessarily 'closed' as we'll need to think about how this fact could utilise the cache once its implemented I believe, as the suggestion here is to use cache as a fallback if it times out its slightly different behaviour then what is defined in #4519. So I think its valid as a separate ticket, I'll keep it open for now to track it. ken. ---------------------------------------- Bug #10508: EC2 facts not available if endpoint timesout or is unavailable https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10508 Author: Matt Moran Status: Code Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Ken Barber Category: library Target version: 1.7.x Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/95 Affected Facter version: 1.5.9 Using EC2 facts in templates or putting conditionals around them can be surprising, due to if the EC2 facts are unavailable your puppet runs may produce unexpected behaviour. It would be good if variables from the EC2 metadata endpoint were cached in a file. This can be used to fulfil the facts if the endpoint is unavailable or timesout. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
