[02:30] <theholder> HI
[02:30] <theholder> with Ubuuntu cloud do all machines need to be identical in hardware specifications
[02:31] <flaccid> no
[02:32] <theholder> just wondered
[02:32] <theholder> is the cloud computer seen as one big cpu or multipule>
[02:32] <theholder> ?
[02:33] <flaccid> by what?
[02:35] <theholder> the system
[02:35] <theholder> ie htop
[02:35] <theholder> or other cpu information gathering software
[02:35] <flaccid> what system?
[02:35] <theholder> the cloud server
[02:35] <theholder> running on the cloud
[02:35] <flaccid> do you mean an instance?
[02:35] <theholder> yes
[02:36] <flaccid> its a virtual machine. it sees the virtual machine it is allocated, not the cloud controller
[02:37] <theholder> hmmm
[02:37] <theholder> so its seen as a single machine with its own ram cpu etc
[02:37] <flaccid> its a virtual machine
[02:37] <flaccid> yes, each instance gets its own 'slice'
[02:38] <theholder> am i getting it confused with paralle processing
[02:38] <theholder> then
[02:38] <theholder> =/
[02:38] <flaccid> i guess so
[02:39] <theholder> lol my bad
[12:20] <walt_> I am trying to get a clear answer on what it the preferred way to build 'gold copies' most of that would be adding packages, which can be done via cloud-init but I have some manual s/w to install and config also
[12:34] <walt_> my prior question is specific to 10.10 /UEC2
[18:02]  * kim0 waves hi to everyone 
[18:02] <kim0> Any new faces around .. anyone wanting to chat, shoot questions and the like .. Hit me
[18:05] <daker> kim0, not sure it's the good time
[18:06] <kim0> daker: what do you mean
[18:06] <daker> 18h GTM is not the good time
[18:06] <daker> GMT
[18:06] <kim0> well it should be ..
[18:06] <kim0> it's 10am-1pm in US timezone
[18:07] <kim0> and 6pm-9pm Eu
[18:07] <daker> just a thought ツ
[18:08] <kim0> Yeah, it's not it .. it's week on week off
[18:11] <zoopster> kim0: enjoyed your blog post on cloud-init...would really like to see other use cases/examples of usage!
[18:11] <kim0> zoopster: great! any suggestions ?
[18:12] <kim0> I'd love examples of more things to demo/talk-about :)
[18:12] <kim0> zoopster: btw, I just pushed a screencast building a LAMP stack in 60 seconds http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DHinDARd72nQ&h=ab7cf
[18:13] <kim0> it's basically cloud-init as well
[18:14] <zoopster> kim0: how about using it to setup a basic dev/test env...not sure what to start with, but take a base ubuntu image and putting all the parts to pull a newly built app? Dunno...anyone with ideas?
[18:14] <kim0> zoopster: actually, my next screencast is gonna be multi-tier LAMP setup (web, app, DB)
[18:14] <kim0> using cloud-init inlcudes and all
[18:14] <zoopster> perfect
[18:38] <elasticdog> kim0: nice posts on cloud-init...seems like it would be ideal to bootstrap a configuration management system (chef/puppet/etc) from a pristine machine image
[18:39] <kim0> elasticdog: Indeed!
[18:39] <kim0> elasticdog: that would be a good idea
[18:40] <kim0> I know mathiaz had created some great puppet bootstrapping guides .. however I'll try to improve any missing bits around that
[18:43] <kim0> elasticdog: nice site btw
[18:43] <elasticdog> thanks :-)
[18:44] <kim0> hehe
[18:44] <elasticdog> I need to actually write stuff on a regular basis
[18:44] <kim0> Yeah
[18:45] <kim0> elasticdog: why did you choose to teach yourself factor
[18:46] <elasticdog> a couple years ago I kept hearing about it from various places, and like learning new things
[18:46] <elasticdog> I had never really messed with stack-based languages before, so it was somewhat mind-expanding
[18:47] <kim0> I see
[18:48] <kim0> elasticdog: do you use ubuntu server or cloud somehow .. if you can tell, I'm interested to hear
[18:48] <elasticdog> kim0: yep, I've been working on setting up a test UEC environment on a few machines at work
[18:49] <kim0> elasticdog: how is that going
[18:49] <elasticdog> it's going well so far, but I'm admittedly pretty new to most things cloud
[18:51] <kim0> elasticdog: If you're looking for things to write about, contributing your UEC setup experiences would be awesome :D
[18:53] <kim0> elasticdog: give it a tought and let me know if you're interested. I'd love to have contributors such as yourself start sharing their info/findings
[18:54] <elasticdog> kim0: that's a good idea...my issues usually aren't that I don't have things to write about, but that I'm a slow/perfectionist writer, but I'll let you know if I post anything
[18:54] <kim0> cool hehe :)
