[09:50] <dch> are there any static binary implementations of cloudinit (i.e. go, rust, etc) ? I'm running into python dependencies for a custom project
[15:55] <minimal> dch: cloud-init is python only. There are various other unrelated projects that effectively attempt to reimplement cloud-init (whether in shell, C, golang, or other langs) but then tend to "suffer" from not being 100% complatible or only implementing support for a small number of DataSources compared to cloud-init
[17:04] <esv> hey folks, how can I view/troubleshoot the obj.pkl file in /var/lib/cloud/instance directory, I tried pickle.load/dump but I am stuck at: "Datasource [seed=/dev/sr0]" string 
[17:22] <dch> minimal: thanks for the clarification. I'd assumed cloudinit was more of a spec.
[18:50] <minimal> dch: well I guess you could call it an "industry standard"
[18:53] <minimal> in one sense it would be nice to have a binary (e.g. C or Golang) alternative, especially as I use cloud-init on Alpine which is a small distro so the python requirement adds a noticable set of additional packages to the distro
[18:54] <minimal> but cloud-init is the established player with a breadth of supported DataSources and many of the alternatives never seem to last
[19:10] <dch> aye
