[18:52] <anotheral> is this the canonical channel for cloud-init?
[18:53] <utlemming> anotheral: yup
[18:53] <anotheral> i was just wondering if there's any documentation of the order of operations that happens in a cloud-config yaml?
[18:53] <anotheral> i have some stuff that needs to happen before some other stuff :)
[18:54] <utlemming> anotheral: /etc/cloud.cfg controls what happens when
[18:54] <anotheral> beautiful
[18:54] <anotheral> ta
[18:54] <utlemming> anotheral: if you want to change that in user-data, you can do that too
[18:54] <utlemming> anotheral: i.e. put #cloud-config into user-data
[18:54] <anotheral> so the order of items in that cloud.cfg file is the order of execution?
[18:54] <anotheral> not the order in my yaml
[18:55] <utlemming> anotheral: yes
[18:56] <anotheral> ah, looks like write_files isn't even in 12.04 cloud-init
[18:56] <utlemming> anotheral: if you want to change that on boot, then define cloud_init_modules or cloud_config_modules in your #cloud-config user-data
[18:56] <anotheral> oh interesting - that's good to know!
[18:56] <anotheral> thanks folk!  LOOOOVE your product
[20:52] <harlowja> yw!
[22:48] <anotheral> if you don't mind, i do have one more question
[22:49] <anotheral> i'm trying to create some files, but ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have the write_file capability
[22:49] <anotheral> is there a decent workaround anyone is aware of?
[23:26] <harlowja> anotheral send in a bash script that writes out the files
[23:27] <harlowja> using bash syntax
[23:27] <anotheral> ah right
