I don't think the passwordless sudo that google's tools sets up is any
different from what cloud-init does, is it?  In both cases it's
assumed that the user for whom you are injecting the ssh key is the
"administrator".  Baking in a password wouldn't make it any better,
and shoving a password into the metadata (even encrypted) would allow
any user on the system to retrieve it and attempt to decrypt.  What
would be a better solution?
