colemickens: that sounds great and thanks for the examples. So the rust agent is also working now? (I mean I get it that it is a work in progress.)
<colemickens>
toraritte: the demo is in fact using it
<colemickens>
toraritte: it currently setups the user you specify wiht az vm create ... --admin-username,
<colemickens>
adds the ssh keys
<colemickens>
seeds entropy
<colemickens>
doesn't handle metadata yet
<colemickens>
and then "reports success" to Azure, which you have to do or else it reboots you a few times, and then marks the VM as bad or something.
<toraritte>
can't wait to try it out! (and understand it). Why did use rust? Don't get me wrong, had an eye on it for years, and with your project I can dive into both nix and rust.

It's too complex for bash.
<colemickens>
I am spoiled by Rust. I write it. It compiles. It almost always does what I expect.
<colemickens>
Python means dragging in a runtime, and I don't like writing it.
<colemickens>
Go would've been a bit faster, but I enjoyed writing the Rust considerably more.
<colemickens>
that having been said, the Rust code isn't a model citizen either. It needs some TLC once I get metadata handling done.

rust is just lovely

i miss it

colemickens: you mean that _writing_ in go would have been faster right? although I just realized that I was sure that go has a runtime too
<toraritte>
a friend is switching from erlang to rust, wish I could join him
<colemickens>
yes I meant writing Go might've been faster. And runtime speed isn't important here, I doubt there would be a significant difference. I guarantee 90% of it is waiting on azure wireserver
