Ah... This is a non-routed address like the 192... IP range and appears to only be active once some AMI instance is active in the cloud. Still this is very confusing to someone just starting out exploring cloud technology.
Although this still makes very little sense as a person may have many AMI instances running, thus this probably means there is some sort of Metadata server which runs which serves out Metadata API information. There should be some check in this package for whatever dependency is required (like the Metadata API server), rather than hanging forever when the package is installed. Please update this bug with the correct procedure (package install sequence & commands to execute) to allow the ec2-init package to be installed. -- ec2-init hangs waiting for ec2 meta-data service https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
