Josh Cooper commented on an issue   Re: Puppet 3.7.1 Agent on Windows slow to load facts Ian Au When running on xen hypervisor, facter's ec2 facts will try to connect to "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/" to determine if it is running in EC2 or not. Facter is supposed to wait no more than 0.2 seconds for the call to complete, but for some reason ruby on your Windows VM, it takes 21 seconds. It appears ruby is not able to interrupt the native call. I created a simple ruby script that makes a TCP connection to the same EC2 host, and it demonstrates the same behavior on both ruby 1.9.3-x86 and 2.0.0-x64: C:\>ruby time.rb connecting to 169.254.169.254:80 with timeout 0.1 seconds timed out 21.04 seconds elapsed   C:\>ruby --version ruby 1.9.3p545 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32] C:\>ruby time.rb connecting to 169.254.169.254:80 with timeout 0.1 seconds timed out 21.03 seconds elapsed   C:\>ruby --version ruby 2.0.0p481 (2014-05-08) [x64-mingw32] I've attached the script for reference. Also due to FACT-717, facter will try to connect multiple times, with a 21 second delay each time. Add Comment   Facter / FACT-716 Puppet 3.7.1 Agent on Windows slow to load facts Both 32 bit and 64 bit installers for puppet 3.7.1 for windows work. However, when running the puppet agent, it takes a LOT longer for it to load facts. When I say a LOT, i mean 3-4 minutes. It looks like it just hangs for a while and then a timeout occurs and the puppet agent continues. I rolled back to the 3.6.2 msi installer and it is much faster.
