[00:18] <smoser> blackboxsw, still there?
[00:18] <smoser> you probably shouldnt be.
[03:36] <blackboxsw> smoser: sorry was doing dinner and bedtime: just ran on azure artful (from zesty upgrade) with and without ifupdown. Worked like a charm in both cases.
[03:36] <blackboxsw> approved your branch
[03:36] <blackboxsw> for tomorrow
[14:56] <smoser> hm...

[16:44] <blkadder> Question for the hive-mind: I am using cloud-init to spin up AWS instances via the aws CLI + yaml files. I am in the process of writing a wrapper script as among other things I want to be able to set the hostname for a given instance on launch. I am wondering if it is possible to merge the existing YAML file with the command line parameters I am setting?
[16:59] <smoser> the aws cli only will allow you to pass one "user-data" blob.
[16:59] <smoser> you can merge all your yaml files to your liking ahead of that one blob
[16:59] <smoser> or you can combine multiple blobs into a mime-multipart message and putt hat as your blob and cloud-init will merge yaml on its side.
[17:03] <blkadder> smoser, Thanks, I was trying to sort through that last option but couldn't find any examples of how to do so.
[17:04] <blkadder> Otherwise I was just going to have the script treat the yaml file as a template and sed the hostname in.
[17:14] <smoser> blkadder, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit
[17:14] <smoser> that shows how to create a mime multipart
[17:14] <blkadder> Awesome thanks!
[17:15] <blkadder> Had been looking for something like that.
[17:18] <blkadder> Although looking at it, if I need to go through those gyrations, it is probably simpler to just sub in the hostname with sed as that's the only thing I need to do at present.
[17:18] <blkadder> In any event appreciate the assist.

[21:23] <blackboxsw> I'm glad someone is making progress
[21:23] <blackboxsw> I'm trying to clear out from under unified getdata
[21:24] <powersj> well that 2nd merge was written by smoser and I just went and did the work and tested it ;)
