Forking this thread briefly because I think this deserves its own discussion. Is your objection primarily to the concept of cloud-init or the implementation? If it's the concept, not much we can help with there. If it's the implementation... We've talked about replacing cloud-init a few times in the past, but there are two objections: - cloud-init is "standard" and we have an uphill marketing battle to get our image adopted with something else. - lack of a great alternative. Mike has talked about a "rich boot process" previously, and I wonder if we're ready to start working on that? Also, one of the CentOS GSoC projects was "Flamingo" "a lightweight contextualization tool that aims to handle initialization of cloud instances." [1] Maybe this is something we could look at for F24? CC'ing Tamer Tas, the student who worked on that. (It's targeted at being a cloud-init replacement for Atomic, so...)
