Hi, all,

previously we have used a set of custom bash scripts to configure cloud-init to 
serve template creation both for KVM and VMWare Hypervisors. Though it's a 
maintenance effort and also compatibility risks.

Is it possible to have a standard YAML configuration in this case? Also without 
the multi-hypervisor context, I have hard times to find a minimal template by 
operation system. 

Typical requirements:

- have a custom SSH user
- synchronize network configuration and hostname with CloudStack

Following the manual the YAMl configuration seems quite simple from the first 
glance but then for example with Ubuntu I run into issues with the network 
configuration, like the interface does not come up.

Please help me to understand what can I expect, whether the configuration with 
cloud-init needs to be elaborate and maintain custom scripting for above use 
cases for every operation system and hypervisor or it's possible to tune common 
use cases in a simple way via the standard YAML?

How's your experience there, and are there shareable examples (maybe include 
them in the sources/documentation)?
