Title: Message Title Garrett Guillotte commented on FACT-1441 Re: Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc For cloud platforms/providers, we don't use platform or provider as core fact names, but I imagine those would be at least as likely to collide with custom facts. We also don't use stack, which Azure and AWS both use to describe broad collections of tools and infrastructure that comprise a cloud service, though not in a consistent way (for instance, the more specific use of stack w/r/t OpsWorks, or Microsoft's "Azure Stack" on-premises product that's distinct from Azure as a cloud service).

Re: Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc
So, naming is hard.
This issues goes from a specific need "We should add a fact that determines whether or not a VM is running in Azure" to a general solution:
"virtualization": {
"hypervisor": "kvm",
"cloud": {
"provider": "azure",
"metadata": ...
}
But I think their is an assumption in the proposed structure which isn't explicit, and which I think is wrong. It assumes that a cloud provider is providing virtual machines running on top of a hypervisor. That's not 100% true of, for instance, Packet or Softlayer or Oracle Cloud. For instance the following would not make sense, because Packet isn't using virtualization.
"virtualization": {
"cloud": {

Title: Message Title Scott McClellan commented on FACT-1441 Re: Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc I'm not clear on the best method forward for a Windows implementation of the Azure check. Apparently, shelling out to a Powershell script within a core Facter fact is a performance no-no, but I'm not finding a way to convert these Powershell commands into Boost/C++. What is the right path forward here?

Title: Message Title Kenaz Kwa commented on FACT-1441 Re: Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc Brian Cain The DHCP 245 option is the only one that Microsoft has officially sanctioned as the way to determine whether a VM is running in Azure: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Detect-Windows-Azure-aed06d51 It's true that they might change the implementation – but that's what they've documented so far. The FACT-1383 ticket refers to an instance metadata feature with is currently in private preview on the Azure team (I have one of my VMs enabled to use it). It's not documented anywhere and we shouldn't trust it until it's gone officially GA.

Jira (FACT-1441) Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc
Title: Message Title Brian Cain commented on FACT-1441 Re: Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc How reliable is it for us to build these methods into facter? Will grepping for unknown-245 in var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases always work for us in the future? Or curling for FullConfig in /var/lib/waagent/GoalState.1.xml? None of these seem like solid future proof ways for determining Azure. What happens if those change? From the original ticket FACT-1383, we have an endpoint that we can query but it will only return data if it's about to go under maintenance (otherwise it returns empty). It also claims there's an InstanceInfo endpoint but I haven't seen much documentation on that endpoint or if it exists.

Jira (FACT-1441) Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc
Title: Message Title Branan Riley commented on FACT-1441 Re: Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc Scott McClellan I'd duplicate the virtual fact, yeah. And also the EC2 metadata when it's running in that environment. We may also want to look at the virtual fact and ensure that it's really reporting hypervisors, and not cloud systems - I think it kinda-sorta does both in some cases. Now that we have separate fields we should fix that up if needed for the hypervisor fact (while maintaining the old idea of the "virtual" fact) I think the "right way" to do this is to move the virtual and ec2 fact data into the new virtualization fact, and from there make the require legacy bits (the virtual fact and the ec2_metadata) available at the top level.

Re: Add "virtualization" fact that identifies AWS, Azure, etc
What should this new fact look like if the node is not running in Azure? This ticket doesn't describe how to check for AWS, so I assume that is a separate ticket. For non-Azure, I guess the fact would be blank like this:
virtualization: {}
I'm not clear on where the virtualization.cloud.metadata value in Eric Sorenson's earlier comment is calculated.
To clarify, the hypervisor is duplicated in both the virtual fact and virtualization.hypervisor?
