Couldn't supervisor be installed via tools other than pip? And won't this return false positives for anything that has the word "supervisor" in the name?

Seems like a better check might be for the presence of supervisorctl in the PATH.

Also, to avoid wrapping this whole method in an if, consider inverting the check and doing an early return right at the top.

Removed this check entirely. This was something I did on my local instance because it simply timed out with pip (no internet connectivity). So I had installed the package manually and just ran a check to bypass.

Reverted to the the prior code.

Probably --enable-dynamo-backend for consistency with --enable-s3-backend?

I find changing the list of input params a bit confusing. I'd recommend making this a single list:

local readonly enable_s3_backend="$8"
local readonly s3_bucket="$9"
local readonly s3_bucket_region="${10}"
local readonly enable_dynamo="${11}"
local readonly dynamo_region="${12}"
local readonly dynamo_table="${13}"

The run method should pass all these params, setting them to true, false, empty strings, or proper values, depending on what the user passed in.

I agree, however, by default the vault config generation just adds the S3 params at the end (no harm if they are empty). I can add extra vault config generation logic (at the bottom) if you'd rather see this as a list.

Changed it back to a list and updated logic at the bottom (vault generation script) to match

Thx! We should probably make this configurable though with a --disable-ui flag for those that want to leave it off.

Please declare local consul_storage and local vault_storage up above this if/else block. That way, both default to empty strings, and only one gets set to a proper value.
