Question About PreOpenStack

[Gregory Lypny]

Hi Craig,

I had posted this right (see below) after you in message 21.  On reflection, the behaviour makes sense, and so does Mark’s suggestion that I move the main stack’s OpenStack handler to the card script.

The absence of OpenStack handlers appears to have been the problem because, after the the sub-stack executes its own PreOpenStack, the main stack, for whatever reason, executes its OpenStack.  This, of course, can be disastrous if the main stack is intended to initialize an app or perhaps contains sensitive material that should not be revisited!  My fix is to include an OpenStack handler with nothing in it in every sub-stack in order to trap the message.
