Getting ready to roll out another set of updated AWS images. So this is a good time to have the conversation about cloud-init Firstly, what is the best version to go with ? I know there is a maintained cloud-init in EPEL but that seems to be 0.6.x based, whereas lots of people seem to be focusing on 0.7.x as the best rpm based distro supported option. thoughts ? - Kb -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
