Public bug reported: Binary package hint: facter
On current Ubuntu releases (the latest LTS most notably), puppet's facter library does not recognize KVM virtual machines as virtual: $ facter | grep virtual is_virtual => false virtual => physical $ grep -i qemu /proc/cpuinfo model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.12.3 This has already been fixed upstream in version 1.5.8. However, this version has not been packaged for any Ubuntu release yet (not even Natty). The upstream commit with the fix is here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/commit/62b6773a63bb96273fbcb6f79bec524fb67df075 Please also see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.server/4917.
