| Currently, GCE facts in Facter are all lumped into one big fact group from a blocklist standpoint. From facter --list-block-groups GCE
- gce This is problematic, as the data it pulls in is pretty wide ranging. Specifically, I'm experiencing an issue at work where one GCE project has a large number of SSH keys. These keys all get pulled into the GCE fact (gce.instance.project.attributes.ssh-keys) resulting in puppet complaining about a fact being larger than the maximum size (fortunately, this is a soft error at the moment). Since we don't actually use that fact, we would like to be able to disable it, as it just wastes resources (it is also not really a fact about the machine really, but I digress). Sadly, since GCE facts are currently all-or-nothing, we cannot blocklist it because we do use other GCE facts pretty widely. |
