DESCRIPTION

15       Cloud-init provides a  mechanism  for  cloud  instance  initialization.
16       This  is done by identifying the cloud platform that is in use, reading
17       provided cloud metadata and optional vendor and  user  data,  and  then
18       initializing the instance as requested.
19
20       Generally, this command is not normally meant to be run directly by the
21       user. However, some subcommands may useful for development or debug  of
22       deployments.
