Nice one, Alex! In general, we're doing this with a shell script in the user-data, rather than a cloud-config. I haven't worked out yet whether there's much advantage to cloud-init if you mostly just have a sequence of runcmd lines... especially since the next thing we do is run a bunch of Ansible against the new instances... 😊 But I see that cloud-init can natively install Ansible and go and grab a playbook to run. I may have to try that...
Thanks for this video (and the series). How hard would it be to add it to an AWS Lambda (in a Docker image, or as part of a startup script)? it could be very helpful for debugging startup problems. OT: Are those speakers the KEF LS50 Metas? If so, do you love 'em?
I'll take a look at some Lambda stuff and if it works out make a video on it. They are some KEF LS50 I have had for nearly a decade (graduation present to myself). Never felt the need to upgrade, they are fabulous.
Excited for the next one! IaC is such a great concept.

When is part 2 ? Can"t wait
It is filmed, and will be out in a few days! :)
This should all work with AWS ec2 instances I would think…
