Just as an update to this, there is no ec2config service in Amazon's own Amazon Linux AMI. =( -Jeff ---------------------------------------- Feature #7559: Fact for identifying Amazon VPC instances. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7559#change-81887 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Martijn Heemels Category: cloud - ec2 Target version: Keywords: vpc ec2 arp Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.6.10 (From the list) I ran into a buglet in facter 1.5.9rc6 (from tmz repo). In normal AWS instances it works great. In VPC instances if doesn't work. This seems to be because VPC instances don't use the fe:ff:ff:... MAC addresses. <pre> /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:67:4E:E1:26:30 inet addr:172.17.129.24 ... /sbin/arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 169.254.169.253 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 172.17.128.1 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:67:4E:DA:58:16 inet addr:172.17.128.126 /sbin/arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 169.254.169.253 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 172.17.128.1 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 </pre> Of the two VPC EC2 instances I've seen, the MAC address always start with 02:67:4E. I have only seen two instances, both in the same VPC, so I don't know if this holds for every VPC instance, YMMV. in ec2.rb , the following seemed to work: <pre> def has_euca_mac? !!(Facter.value(:macaddress) =~ %r{^02:67:4[eE]:}) end </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
