crazedensemble eh? sounds pretty cool03:02
crazedi want to see it in use though03:02
flaccidtried chef or puppet before?03:15
crazedyeah i use chef mostly currently03:42
crazedchef cloudformation and cloud-init, but you need to combine three things to get the end goal, seems ensemble is trying to do all three together03:44
flaccidwell cloud-init is a perfect example03:50
flaccidthat relies on upstart and yet its not even a dependency of the package03:50
flaccidit won't work on most other distributions out of box. i still need to find time to port it.03:51
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
flaccidi guess if you are happy with being locked into ubuntu with everything, then its certainly the distro you can be happy with03:52
crazedamazon linux adopted cloud-init, i think others would as well, there's nothing else out there that provides a nice set of tools to interact with userdata03:58
flaccidyes they had to fork it and do their own version of it which really doesn't help. i need to find term to merge both so that more than 2 distros can use it.03:59
flaccidterm=time04:00
flaccidits disheartening to see two distros act like proprietary companies04:00
crazedwould it really be that hard to port to say centos?04:01
crazedhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/65583704:03
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 655837 in cloud-init "integrate changes from amazon" [Medium,Triaged]04:03
flaccidno i did an analysis and its not hard to port, but of course it takes a little bit of time. this doesn't address the concept of a platform independent codebase04:03
crazedoh you're subscribed to that04:03
flaccidyes thats the bug we have04:03
flaccidnobody has time04:03
flaccidgood ol working backwards. amazon forked it because it depends on upstart..04:04
smoseramazon forked because it depends on apt04:05
smoserthat was the biggest issue04:05
smoserthe upstart isn't really all that bad.04:06
smoserand they didn't really chose to fork. they're interested in getting their changes back upstream04:06
smoserbusiness forced them to fork (ie, they needed something *now*)04:06
crazedmaybe there should be a concept similar to chef, where it abstracts the init/package systems04:06
smoserwell, yes. some abstraction layer for packages would be necessary.04:07
flaccidi analyzed the code and upstart is more hard in there imho. there is no reason to depend on either.04:08
flaccidsmoser: if they are interested, why have they not just done it?04:08
smoserthings take time.04:09
flaccidtrue, but how long for this one? :)04:09
flaccidi want to do it so i can port it properly to debian and conform to deb policy, but heh i dont have time yet04:10
crazedtime's always an issue04:10
smoserand priority04:10
smoseryou have something that works, its hard to assign priority to doing the right thing04:10
smoser:)04:10
smoseranyway...04:10
crazedtrue04:11
flaccidit doesn't work on debian heh04:11
smoseri am interested in making cloud-init function properly on debian04:11
flaccidotherwise i would of included it in the AMIs i release last week04:11
smoserand would be interested in helping people make it work on fedora or the like.04:11
flaccidyep, its just time and priority for both of us right and we've talked about this before04:11
flaccidthanks again for the rightscale support though :) me and jeremydei are lovin it04:12
smoserso you're using it?04:12
smoserthats great.04:12
flaccidoh just in some natty testing stuff04:12
smoserit could be better.04:12
smoseryou're kindof delegated to user-scripts with it.04:12
flaccidi have to find time to rewrite the rightlink_installer.sh for the hook04:12
smoserrather than being able to insert boothooks and such04:12
flaccidwell just the one remote script to install rightlink is all we need :)04:13
flaccidsmoser: tried out my images yet by any chance?04:23
smoserno.04:24
flaccidah wells04:24
