So now that is done, if you would be interested in being able to
supply your own cloud-init data please have a look at this issue:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/redmine/issues/208
For CentOS it is already possible to supply your own kickstart file
to make an automated and customised install.
For Debian we configure it using preseed, but we don't preseed very
much so most of the Debian installer still asks you all the
questions it needs to ask you. If you would actually be interested
in providing your own preseed file then I would be willing to create
an issue for that and look into it.
If your chosen distribution has an official cloud image that is
configured using cloud-init and you'd prefer things to work that
way, again please say so and I can look into that.
Thanks,
Andy
