If that gets > implemented then this becomes easy! :-) What about a service that runs before cloud-init itself, scans the user-data for needed plugins, and then yum-installs them if they're missing? It woudn't have to be that smart -- if it hit something complicated, it could just throw up its hands and install the whole shebang. The primary downside I can see is that it's probably slower to do that than to just have it all there. I'm kinda thinking we should offer a super-small-no-cloud-init image (maybe even stripped of locale info and whatever), and a larger "batteries included" version. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
