## Spotlight: cloud-init Summit
The cloud-init team recently had a [two-day summit][1] to meet with
contributors to cloud-init from cloud providers and OS vendors to demo
recent developments in cloud-init, resolve outstanding issues, and
collect feedback on development and test processes as well as future
features.

  tests
