[04:04] <mruffell> congratulations for the cloud-init 20.2 SRU release!

[15:09] <smoser> your test/feedback on that would be nice.
[16:22] <Odd_Bloke> falcojr: Thanks for the review!  Is the "another channel" you mentioned the gist that you're putting together?
[16:25] <falcojr> Yep! Let me link it here

[16:27] <Odd_Bloke> OK, nice, I'll have a read through that this afternoon.
[17:23] <Odd_Bloke> falcojr: This isn't really prompted by your document, but I was thinking more last night about how to run multiple test methods against the same instance: I wonder if an autouse class-scoped fixture would be the way to go: any tests that are in the same class will run against the same SUT.
[17:24] <Odd_Bloke> (Don't know if it should be autouse, but that would avoid needing to request the fixture in every test.)
[17:26] <Odd_Bloke> (I do wonder how that would interact with parameterization: if we parameterized a class to run the same tests with two different configurations, would they share the SUT?)
[17:32] <Odd_Bloke> falcojr: Another stray observation for your "launch args" mark: marks can take kwargs which can be accessed the same way as args are.  I've just confirmed this is supported in xenial.
[18:22] <falcojr> yeah, I wasn't sure about kwargs. Thanks for checking on that. I think a fixture might be the way to go then. I think class level fixtures like you mention make sense too, but at last as we have enough flexibility at the top-level, those sort of fixtures can come as we need them
[21:27] <Odd_Bloke> falcojr: I've responded to ~the first half of your gist in a comment. :)
[21:40] <falcojr> Cool, I'll take a look
[23:00] <catphish> morning
[23:12] <catphish> i'm looking at how cloud providers use cloud-init, most seem to provide config from a known url, usually on 169.254.169.254, but i'm wondering, how do these VMs generally establish network connectivity prior to fetching this config, are they using DHCP?
[23:58] <catphish> actually, i think i have a better solution, but i'm sure i'll be back with more questions :)
