DESCRIPTION

14       Cloud-init  provides  a  mechanism  for  cloud instance initialization.
15       This is done by identifying the cloud platform that is in use,  reading
16       provided  cloud  metadata  and  optional vendor and user data, and then
17       initializing the instance as requested.

19       Generally, this command is not normally meant to be run directly by the
20       user.  However, some subcommands may useful for development or debug of
21       deployments.
