🗣 Description
This pull request moves creation of the
cyhy
user to AMI build time from being part of individual instance cloud-init configurations.💭 Motivation and context
This change moves user creation to AMI build time to provide a better guarantee that the
cyhy
user exists before any Ansible provisioners are run against an instance during deployment. It will also allow the option for cyhy-specific Ansible roles to expect the existence of thecyhy
user as part of their logic. As a bonus this reduces complexity by removing this element of the individual cloud-init configurations for instances that need this user.🧪 Testing
Automated tests pass. I used this branch in my test environment and verified that the
cyhy
user existed and that SSH access worked as expected.✅ Pre-approval checklist
