cloud-init-datasources
======================
Configures cloud-init to only use an explicit list of data sources.
Cloud-init contains a growing collection of data source modules and most
are enabled by default. This causes cloud-init to query each data source
on first boot. This can cause delays or even boot problems depending on your
environment.
You must define `DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES` as a comma-separated list of valid
data sources to limit the data sources that will be queried for metadata on
first boot.
For instance, to enable only the Ec2 datasource:
export `DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES`="Ec2"
Or to enable multiple:
export `DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES`="Ec2, ConfigDrive, OpenStack"
Including this element without setting `DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES` will cause
image builds to fail.
