However there are limitations; you can assign multiple IPs to a host yet only the first IP per interface will be DHCP assigned, and you are limited in the total number of interfaces you have, so doing one-IP-per- interface is also untenable. This script grabs the metadata provided by AWS and uses it to correctly configure all available network interfaces. It is suitable to be hooked in to system boot and network reconfiguration scripts. Note that it currently does not handle the deconfiguration of interfaces.
