[01:06] <smoser> rsvp, regarding "not desktop" that is bug 635188 . i hope to get that fixed in 11.04.
[01:06] <smoser> regarding "URL_as_config" where did you see that ?
[01:31] <rsvp> smoser, here's the URL_as_config reference: "Note, the maximum total size that can be passed to user-data is 16K.  If  you are above that limit, you can gzip the data or you can move the  items to files accessable through a URL and pass the URLs to user-data." http://www.rndguy.ca/2010/11/20/using-cloudinit-to-automate-linux-ec2-setup/
[01:32] <smoser> ah. ok.
[01:32] <smoser> rsvp, so if you do do something like:
[01:33] <rsvp> so does the URL_as_config "feature (if it really exists -- no time so far this weekend to confirm)" work at the Amazon AWS web console input box ??
[01:33] <smoser> printf "%s\n%s\n" "#include" "http://your.site.here/some-url.cloud-config" > my.config
[01:33] <smoser> ec2-run-instances --user-data-file my.config
[01:33] <smoser> then cloud-init will read the "#include" and pull the data from the url just as if it had been inline.
[01:34] <smoser> rsvp, it should work there, yes. i've not actually tested, but putting the same there should be same as on config line.
[01:35] <smoser> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit explains #include some.
[01:37] <rsvp> yes, that makes sense... maybe if the web input box only contains one URL line, cloud-init could do that my.config thing implicitly in the background.
[01:40] <smoser> it could also at least allow for a single line: #include http://...
[01:41] <rsvp> yes, that would be super convenient!
[01:41] <smoser> if you want to open a bug on that, i'd look into it more. see if i could fit it in backwards compatibly.
[01:44] <rsvp> ok cool
[08:27] <Evet> what are the minimum specs of a vm i can create?
