EC2 nodes: internal vs external host names

[waywardmonkeys]

Our EC2 nodes show up in RunDeck using the internal names, so we can't connect to them.

I've just come across this, looking through lib/chef-rundeck.rb it's returning the fqdn attribute from the node which in ec2 is just the node's hostname rather than the public hostname. A quick (site specific) hack would be to modify this line.

A proper fix could be to add another command line switch to chef-rundeck to define what attribute it should use to return the hostname in it's output. Similar to how knife ssh works with -a

bump

Thinking about a release this weekend (or maybe Monday), but I don't have a fix for this in flight. I think I can see how I'd implement it but I'm not sure when I'll have the time to do it myself.

Would love to see this feature as well, specifically being able to define what attribute (i.e. ipaddress) to use for the 'hostname'.

Take a look at #60. This might be solved already. Just not documented.

[bscott]

We should document it. Wondering if I should cut a new release.
