I'm especially concerned about currently having intentionally (to be super early)
open-vm-tools.service: DefaultDependencies=no Before=cloud-init-local.service Which means as early as possible (no other dependencies) and in front of cloud init. Which due to the suggested: After=vgauth.service would effectively make open-vm-tools.service to be after DefaultDependencies again. @Rharper / @Smoser - will that be a problem? If so any suggestions how to resolve while still getting the request filed here considered? Not sure if vgauth.service can work with "DefaultDependencies=no" if that is the outcome to be needed.
