So If i wanted to assert that the host running my VM is "<a href="http://x.foo.com" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">x.foo.com</a>" I'd have to be able to retrieve that from within the VM. I can do that via the REST API but that requires me to get a REST user/pass inside the vm and feels hacky. The common way of doing this at openstack/aws is to curl the metadata service which replies with information only relevant to the machine asking.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Feels OK to me - doesn't sound too hacky to me.</div><div>You can do it via Ansible, but still need creds.</div><div>I don't remember if anything in the VM BIOS (dmidecode) will help you there - I think not.</div><div>Y.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
