[16:04] <sauce_> whats the best CentOS 6 AMI with cloud-init?
[16:57] <sauce_> i am using Bashton's CentOS 6.4 AMI with cloud-init.  i am installing the puppetlabs yum repo via "yum_repo module," for use with installing puppet via the "puppet module".  unfortunately the yum repo doesn't get added, so the puppet install fails. any ideas?
[16:57] <sauce_> i got the ubuntu version of my cloud-config working (installs puppetlabs apt repo, then installs puppet)
[16:58] <sauce_> also, how do i test cloud-init manually? right now i keep on spinning up new instances to test
[17:50] <smithmb> Hi folks -- I'm trying to configure chef using cloud init, and it's giving me complaints about apt-get in a stacktrace. But I'm using install_type: "omnibus" ... which shouldn't do an apt-get. Is omnibus still a valid type?
[18:05] <smithmb> ah, apparently 12.04 has an earlier version of cloud-init that doesn't support omnibus
[19:06]  * sauce_ patiently waits for smoser to get back
[19:21] <smoser> sauce_, easiest way to do it is with lxc.
[19:21] <smoser> second easiest is with kvm
[19:22] <smoser> both of those are basically just faster ways than ec2 to create a "new instance"
[19:43] <sauce_> smoser i think you're reading yesterday's question
[19:43] <sauce_> my question today has to do with yum_repos module not kicking in
[19:44] <smoser> i dont know about the yum_repo. 
[19:44] <smoser> if i had to geuss, i'd guess the version of cloud-init youhave is old and doesn't support that.
[19:44] <smoser> if that was wrong, i'd ask harlowja . 
[19:45] <harlowja> ya, depends on the version and such
[19:45] <harlowja> all smoser  fault!
[19:45] <harlowja> lol
[19:48] <sauce_> how about the one that ships with amazon linux AMI?
[19:48] <harlowja> not sure, which one is that
[19:48] <harlowja> never quite know what amazon runs :-P
[19:49] <sauce_> ok let me ask you this
[19:49] <sauce_> hmmm not sure how you can help me without getting annoyed, cause i am using old cloud-init
[19:49] <sauce_> let me play around a bit then i'll get back to you guys
[19:50] <sauce_> basically i need to set up my software repo before puppet module kicks in
[19:56] <sauce_> ok next question:
[19:56] <sauce_> i got the repo installed via: runcmd:
[19:56] <sauce_> - rpm -ivh https://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/products/x86_64/puppetlabs-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
[19:57] <sauce_> but unfortunately, the puppet module launched BEFORE that.  how can i set up dependencies with cloud-init?
[19:57] <harlowja> u have to alter the cloud.cfg that is used, which has the sections of what is ran, bb
[19:58] <sauce_> gotcha
[20:13] <smoser> sauce_, don't use runcmd
[20:13] <smoser> probaably your cloud-init supports bootcmd
[20:13] <smoser> which happens much earlier.
[20:13] <smoser> and probably you can insert the repo then
[20:13] <sauce_> gotcha
