Hi, I can also highly recommend cloud-init. We use it for our templates as well. There is also a Windows analogue of it (https://cloudbase.it/cloudbase-init/) that I recently used to finally get password functionality to work properly on Windows Server 2016.

Unfortunately the docs regarding cloudstack is not that great (it is on my list to give back my finding). There are some great docs here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cloud-init. Our config under config dir /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/ has two files - 80_root.cfg - 99_cloudstack.cfg 80_root.cfg contents is... system_info: default_user: name: root disable_root: 0 ssh_pwauth: 1 ...and 99_cloudstack.cfg looks like... datasource: CloudStack: {} None: {} datasource_list: - CloudStack Note that cloud-init has a ton of great features beside the support of cloudstack. Hope that helps René [1] https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
