[07:47] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:08] <dregin> powersj: I need python 3.7 because we provision machines using an ansible version that doesn't support python 3.8. To work around this, I'm using the 18.04 AMI that comes with tooling for EKS 1.17 and installing 1.18 tools using apt. (using apt instead of snap is probably why I'm seeing these installed as new packages instead of upgrades, right?)
[10:10] <dregin> powersj: I just want to know how and what EKS tools are installed so that I'm not missing anything.
[10:19] <romrayster> Hey guys, quick question regarding the deja-dup backup tool: is there anyway to change size of the backup-parts? The default is 50MB.
[15:13] <teward> rbasak: alive?
[15:23] <rbasak> o/
[15:26] <teward> oh good you live.  *gives you work*  :P
[16:09] <powersj> smoser, looks like you have been helping out on https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/691 are you +1 with the current state?
[16:09] <ubot3> Pull 691 in canonical/cloud-init "[VMware] Support cloudinit raw data feature" [Open]
[16:14] <smoser> powersj: i dont' really have the time to review that any more than i have.
[16:14] <smoser> i think that my primary issue with it is at
[16:14] <smoser>  https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/691
[16:14] <ubot3> Pull 691 in canonical/cloud-init "[VMware] Support cloudinit raw data feature" [Open]

[16:15] <smoser> i understand that vmware wants that setting to be false.
[16:16] <smoser> i could be wrong.. maybe it didnt' even change the behavior of this.
[16:16] <smoser> my understanding of this (which coudl be wrong) is that vmware wants the default behavior of cloud-init to be "execute arbitray code provided by the platform"
[16:17] <smoser> previously that has been turned off by cloud-init, and thus in stock OS images.
[16:19] <powersj> smoser, ok thanks and my bad for pinging you here and not #cloud-init
[16:19] <powersj> dregin, thanks for the background
