[Bug 924375] [NEW] cloud-init should allow pre-seeding of ec2 datasource:Ec2:metadata_urls

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

it would be best if cloud-init supported pre-seeding of the ec2 metadata url.
This way, something coordinating the installation could cleanly specify through a preseed the location of the metadata url.

It might also make sense to be able to pre-seed 'manual_cache_clean'.
Then, you could essentially pre-seed cloud-config that looked like:

manual_cache_clean: True
datasource:
 Ec2:
  metadata_urls: [ http://192.168.1.131:80/abcdefg ]

where the path was a uuid or something, and on subsequent boots cloud-init would not need that url to be present.
Note, though, that 'manual_cache_clean' is less important here, because you could easily have cloud-config or cloud-init data served by the metadata service populate that value in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d.
