Before with just the default 'chef-full' distro, the /etc/hosts file over ec2 is:

root@ip-10-93-23-188:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Then after using this distro, the /etc/hosts is:

root@new-empower-i-82c334f2:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
10.252.41.173 new-empower-i-82c334f2.new-empower-i-82c334f2.new-empower-i-82c334f2 new-empower-i-82c334f2

Which is invalid is some service, e.g. mysql errors out with too-long-hostname when creating the database.

Can u refactor it?

This gist was a hack from long ago.

Something like this is better -
