cloud-init does a lot of things. I guess what I'm looking for is whether cloud-init could be made to emit events as it works such that other upstart jobs can listen for those events and then use them to trigger their startup as opposed to waiting for the entire cloud-init process to complete.
eg: cloud-init: initctl emit hostname myjob: start on hostname -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596993 Title: hostname handling needs improvement for elastic-ip and ebs start-stop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
