Hi Swen,
If you wanted to do this on boot with cloud-init or a similar mechanism you
would actually engineer the solution such that an internet connection wasn’t
required. If you have every VM updating over the internet you end up paying for
a lot of unnecessary bandwidth. You would instead make sure you have internal
cloned patch repositories which you synchronize hourly/daily - which means all
user VMs only pull patches on the internal network. You could even “eat your
own dogfood/drink your own champagne” and host this on one of the accounts in
the same CloudStack infrastructure – then simply set up connection on the
public network. That way the update traffic isn’t ever leaving your switches
per se.
Not sure how AWS etc. do this, but they have deep pockets…

@Rene: Of course it is the user's responsibility, but we want to provide a
VM with the latest updates each time you deploy a new VM. :-) I know that
cloud-init can do this on boot, but what if the network has no internet
connection?
Does anybody know how AWS or DigitalOcean is handling this?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards,

We decided to not doing or minimize (1-2 updates per year) templates
updates for "system updates" for two main reasons:
1. It is the user's responsibility to keep systems up to date anyway.
2. Using cfg management and/or cloud-init is more than easy to update
systems.
