 commiterate | * sielicki Whenever you have bandwidth, can you ping ludavidy@ (David Lu) and lvemulap@ (Likitha Vemulapalli) on Slack about merging these 2 PRs and creating a new release? These should help simplify the Nixpkgs package definition.

 @sielicki:matrix.org | Will look later today when I’m back on a keyboard, thank you for the ping. | 18:47:17 |
| commiterate | I'm not sure if either of them are on vacation this week. Probably need to use the PhoneTool Calendar userscript or something else (meetings.amazon.com or use Outlook's scheduler) to see if they're in. | 18:51:04 |

| commiterate | Any fluent-bit users interested in becoming maintainers for the fluent-bit package and (new) NixOS module? It effectively has no maintainers right now.
I was fixing this package + adding a NixOS module originally for NixOS and macOS EC2 instances but decided to swap to Vector instead.

 Arian | I still don't really understand the point of amazon-ec2-net-utils. For me with the default networkd config any ENA I attach gets an IP address from DHCP. I don't understand why the source/dest policy routing stuff is needed either | 11:45:18 |
| Arian | and the Ipv4 prefix delegation feature just seems broken | 11:45:24 |
| Arian | like. Why isn't it just good enough for us to enable DHCP on each interface; get IPs; call it a day | 11:45:41 |
| Arian | why do we need this whole event driven thingimabob with policy routes. I don't understand. maybe i'm too peanut-brained | 11:45:59 |
| commiterate | I think there's some things like secondary IP addresses which DHCP doesn't handle? (unless it actually does) | 19:41:23 |
| commiterate | * I think there's some things like secondary IP addresses and delegated prefixes which DHCP doesn't handle? (unless it actually does) | 19:42:23 |
| commiterate | especially since some of these things are mutable properties of an ENI so they have to be reconfigured on mutation | 19:43:11 |
| commiterate | which will require talking to IMDS | 19:43:17 |
| Arian | Ah yeh. DHCPv6 definitely handles delegated prefixes. Don't know about DHCP. Probably not | 19:45:27 |
| commiterate | * which will require polling IMDS | 19:48:10 |
| commiterate | also probably some other stuff related to VPC routing policies as well | 19:49:36 |
| commiterate | I'd be surprised if DHCP or something else handled those automatically | 19:49:48 |
| Arian | Well if you just have a single ip address there should be no issue | 19:50:14 |
| Arian | Address belongs to a subnet. Subnet to interface
The enf | 19:50:24 |
| commiterate | yeah for simple immutable setups, the net utils are unnecessary | 19:50:29 |
| Arian | * Address belongs to a subnet. Subnet to interface
The end | 19:50:34 |
| Arian | There are no routing conflicts. I also dont understand why its needed with secondary addresses | 19:50:55 |
| Arian | Unless you have overlapping subnets from two different vpcs but then you're in a while other set of trouble? | 19:51:19 |
| commiterate | there's probably some really weird multipath mesh VPC setups | 19:51:27 |
| commiterate | though those should really be using PrivateLink or VPC Lattice | 19:51:52 |
| Arian | Amazon's biggest mistake was VPCs | 19:51:54 |
| Arian | EC2 classic was perfect | 19:51:59 |
| commiterate | some insane enterprise customer probably started asking for these unnecessarily complicated features | 19:52:36 |
| commiterate | in fact that customer was probably Amazon retail | 19:52:45 |
