Facter / FACT-1903 facter doesn't recognize EC2 i3.metal instances Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2019/01/09 8:45 AM Environment: AWS EC2, i3.metal instance Debian Jessie or Stretch Labels: aws ec2 Priority: Normal Reporter: Ryan McKern i3.metal instances aren’t $virtual as far as puppet is concerned, so there is a problem where facter doesn’t populate ec2_metadata on i3.metal instances as a result. If we force the facter virtual fact to be kvm, then puppet can run just fine on that instance type. An example of the logic involved in determining if an instance is on EC2 is here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/master/lib/src/facts/resolvers/ec2_resolver.cc#L117 Add Comment

Re: facter doesn't recognize EC2 i3.metal instances Tested this on a i3.metal instance with Debian Stretch with puppet-agent 6.11.1 and it works fine for me, see facter output: facter.txt # facter --version 3.14.6 (commit 47c91659d7220d0b5c536f7e5fb1a541c1f0d36c)

Re: facter doesn't recognize EC2 i3.metal instances

Looks like the fix for us would be to roll forward then: mckern ~ $ dpkg -l | grep puppet ii puppet-agent 1.8.3-1jessie amd64 The Puppet Agent package contains all of the elements needed to run puppet, including ruby, facter, hiera and mcollective. mckern ~ $ facter -v 3.5.1 (commit 4dd3423921c3e46906942fa76bebff7afbc1c0e7)

Also, y'all saw that this sat opened and unacknowledged for almost a year, right?

Sorry about that Ryan McKern. Facter (& co) ownership was transferred to our team sometime last year, and this ticket seems to have slipped through the cracks of JIRA.
