[pve-devel] HTTP API : Cloudinit

[Mariusz Miodowski]

I am not sure if my last answer was clear enough. By custom cloud init
script I am referring to cloud-config files:

I am sorry for any misunderstanding.

Of course you are right however I am trying to made installation process
as simple as possible. If I use ssh, first I need to connect to master
server which returns information about what software needs to be
installed at first boot.
But when I use cloud-config I can just inject required scripts/commands.
