Description Neil Wilson 2012-07-04 15:46:12 UTC 
Description of problem:

An alteration to boto to support json metadata has broken the 'get_instance_metadata' routing in 'utils'. This stops the 'cloud-init' service from working properly where any of the meta-data fields are empty (eg public ip).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.5.1-1.fc17


How reproducible:

Run cloudinit against a EC2 interface with a blank public ip.
