If an OpenStack server (Ironic or Nova) has an error, it shows up in a nested field. That field is hard to read in its normal layout, due to JSON formatting. Using jq to strip the formatting helps a bunch

I’ll post more on why in the future. Why I left Red Hat, and why I specifically chose Ampere. Both deserve a well formed explanation, as both are very important to me. My head is not there yet, it is in code and machines and processes.
