Issue #15391 has been updated by C Lang.

arp -a in a vpc does not contain this - looks like a normal arp table.

The only special value I seem to see consistently is an entry for 
169.254.169.250 with a varying MAC. I'm not sure I'd rely on that without 
confirmation from Amazon. It may be a Windows activation service IP used in 
VPCs.

I will open a ticket with Amazon and see if I can get an answer.

Bug #15391: Facter Windows fails to detect EC2 when running in VPC
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15391#change-67185

Author: C Lang
Status: Investigating
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: library
Target version: 
Keywords: ec2,arp,vpc,windows
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 1.6.10


Apparently facter relies on seeing the gateway address in arp with 
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as the MAC. Unfortunately, this isn't present inside of a 
VPC, so Facter fails completely.

Is it possible to skip the arp check and query the meta data?
