Here is the current documentation for user-data scripts: http://alestic.com/2009/06/ec2-user-data-scripts And the original, reference implementation (run at S71 on Ubuntu): http://ec2-run-user-data.notlong.com
RightScale has completely different specs for how user-data is handled in their environment for their own hooks and for users to pass in information, so I don't think they would be compatible with user-data scripts. The benefit of the current approach with RightScale's lightweight init script is that it only activates and installs RightScale software if it is running in the RightScale environment. Amazon only provides one way to pass in data to an instance (user-data) and the content of that triggers whether startup should be done with RightScale, user-data scripts, or with alternate user-defined mechanisms. -- rightscale init script https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
