Hey Greg
I'm not saying not to use cloud-init I just wanted to point out that one downside
to cloud-init it that it is a fairly heavy package with a fair number of dependancies.
Just something to keep in mind if requiring it to be built into launching instance.

Hi Greg,
Cool feature :) Some questions:
- Maybe the IP (and probably the hostname) should be enforced to be unique on the same
network? Or at least warning if duplicates found?
- Let's say if the IP is set by cloud-init, then you may also have it in the guest
agent info if the guest agent is installed. This may make life a bit more difficult for
the developers who build on rest-api. Is there a nice solution for this?
- for authorized keys, it would be a pain to copy-paste the public key each time you
install a guest. Could a default be stored let's say in the user's data?
- the hostname set for the guest could default to the VM name?
Thank you,
Laszlo
