Jeremy T. Bouse commented on an issue   Re: No EC2 facts shown on newly-built Amazon Linux host Not exactly sure this is the same as Justin was reporting but I noticed a difference on my Amazon Linux hosts between EC2-Classic and EC2-VPC run server instances that appears to be related to the Facter::Util::EC2.has_ec2_arp? function which attempts to match the ARP entry. On an EC2-Classic the ARP will return and match 'fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff' as shown: [root@ip-10-71-144-239 ~]# arp -an ? (10.71.144.193) at fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ether] on eth0 ? (169.254.169.254) at fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ether] on eth0 On an EC2-VPC instance the ARP for me returns: [root@ip-10-0-2-166 ~]# arp -an ? (169.254.169.254) at 0e:5e:c5:10:1a:ba [ether] on eth0 ? (10.0.2.1) at 0e:5e:c5:10:1a:ba [ether] on eth0 Furthermore I believe in this case that matching on the ARP is really poor design as EC2-VPC server instances you have a Network Interface configuration giving a unique MAC per interface that are attached to the EC2 instances. By only executing this check based on MAC it ensures that any EC2-VPC server instance does not get the EC2 facts provided when configuration catalog runs are executed. Add Comment   Facter / FACT-185 No EC2 facts shown on newly-built Amazon Linux host `facter|grep ec2` yields only the 'domain' and 'fqdn' facts for me, not a gaggle of them including stuff like 'ec2_profile'. The same versions on another host are working fine. Any tips on troubleshooting? An strace isn't showing anything promising to me, although it confirms that it's firing up the ec2.rb library.
