I marked this as fix-released in zesty just by
 pull-lp-source nova-lxd zesty

that got me 15.0.0-0ubuntu1
 ./nova/virt/lxd/flavor.py
has commit b664cc294dc9f320c343ba6b9c4317c071e671bb which added 'product_name' with value 'OpenStack Nova' to the lxc container's pid 1 environment.

Bug description:
  nova-lxd uses the Openstack Network metadata service.

  In an effort to avoid polling metadata services in cloud-init we will disable
  attempts to reach the MD without positive identification of the cloud.

  We need to be able to positively identify that the container we are running
  inside should have access to an openstack metadata service so we can
  safely assume it will be there.

  How can we positively identify that a container is running in nova-lxd?
  Is there anything in the environment (possibly pid 1 environ?) that we
  can look at?

  One way I could see doing t his would be for lxd-nova to put
     CLOUD_PLATFORM='openstack-nova'
  inside the pid 1 environment.  then cloud-init can look at /proc/1/environ
  and pick that out.

  Open to other ideas, and would love it if there was something we could
  do.
