Description

The underlying version of CFEngine 3.10 does not detect Amazon Linux, and as a result some variables pointing to tool paths are undefined. This leads to the technique failures. I discovered this with sshKeyDistribution, as ${paths.sed} was not defined. CFEngine 3.11 (and later) appears to have code changes to properly detect Amazon Linux.

It appears Architecture #12856 is in progress to incorporate CFengine 3.12 in release 4.4.0.

A workaround for me was to create a /etc/redhat-release file with the contents I took from a CentOS host ("CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)"). After creating the file, the agent detected it as CentOS and the sshKeyDistribution techniques worked and reported properly.

Mike, we switched to CFEngine 3.12 in Rudder 5.0.0, which is released this week. Would you mind test with that version to see it corrects you problem?

No, it doesn't appear so. Operating system from the WebUI (4.3.4 server w/ 5.0-rc1 client) shows \S

The actual failure for the sshKeyDistribution still remains. I haven't had time to figure out more details as the cause, but I suspect its still the undefined paths.sed.

OK, we need to check if it's still not OK in 5.0.1 (that's a very small required effort)

Amazon Linux is not supported by our stdlib. We need code for compatibility.
