#  The goal of this is to read a bunch of variables from debconf
#  To implement a "late_command_runparts" like function.
#  Ie, you would populate the preseed with content like:
#    late-command-d  late-command/90-fix-hosts string content-for-fix-hosts
#    late-command-d  late-command/10-install-my-packages string payload
#
#  Then, in the actual late_command, we would suck out all those
#  values, and run them by doing something like this:

Summary

These tools are used to show collect information on performance and cost of a 'apt-get update'.

You need to have chdist from devscripts package to use it.

The results shown here are on a cloud with a local mirror, so latency is low and bandwidth high.

az-ubuntu: easily run Ubuntu on azure using azure-cli

This just makes running az from the azure-cli pypi package possibly more friendly.

Setup

First install azure-cli

Do so with pip:
