Facter / FACT-2988 Facter is slow on windows due to azure metadata query Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 4.0.52 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2021/03/16 5:52 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Josh Cooper The azure metadata fact takes 20+ seconds before timing out on Windows. $ cmd /c facter --version 4.0.52   $ time cmd /c facter > /dev/null real 0m22.431s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s When running with debug you can see: [2021-03-17 01:49:16.036357 ] DEBUG Facter::Resolvers::Az - Querying Az metadata [2021-03-17 01:49:37.076303 ] DEBUG Facter::Util::Resolvers::Http - Trying to connect to http://169.254.169.254/metadata/instance?api-version=2020-09-01 but got: execution expired The EC2 fact uses the same IP address, so I'm not sure if the EC2 fact is blocked by default, or is excluded based on other criteria, or because the EC2 fact uses a very small connect timeout: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/f169f54ddae91787b2f36a25d6e7cbc2330c5bbc/lib/facter/util/resolvers/http.rb#L10 Add Comment
