| Hi. Currently, Facter checks if it is running on Google's GCE by checking if the bios vendor is "Google". However, this happens to also be the case on some non-GCE systems (I think also in the Linux VM on Chromebooks as well as some other odd systems), leading to timeout when trying to talk to the Metadata server. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/managing-instances has updated the detection method (avoiding the metadata server) to: sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name | grep "Google Compute Engine"
Google Compute Engine For Linux. Please update facter accordingly. |
