No, it will not. Currently, it uses FirstBoot. It’s a bit cumbersome, I know, but that is what we have and already use with the SBC image. Alternatively, the documentation describes how to use guestfs-tool’s virt-customize for initial configuration and disabling FirstBoot.

Cloud-init provides a "no-cloud“ option. But there are several long-standing bugs with it (especially network configuration). Naturally, in a cloud specific development, a no-cloud option does not necessarily rank high on the list of priorities. And it does not support setting up Fedora Server Edition's default configuration in a =simple= way, e.g. disabled root account. You have to provide a full meta data config file instead of using CLI parameters or Cockpit UI options.
