## Spotlight: 2018 cloud-init Summit

Last week the cloud-init team ran a two-day summit [1] where the team
demoed recent developments in cloud-init, resolved outstanding issues,
and collected feedback on development and test processes as well as
future features. Representatives from various cloud platforms and
distributions were present and able to work alongside each other.
