A cloud using the Ec2 datasource has an instance-id metadata value in the form:

/Compute-$TENANT/$CLOUDUSERNAME/$UUID

The leading '/' causes /var/lib/cloud/instance to link to /Compute-$TENANT/$CLOUDUSERNAME/$UUID rather than /var/lib/cloud/instances/Compute-$TENANT/$CLOUDUSERNAME/$UUID

fix is now released to xenial under bug 1595302. daily cloud-images with this newer version of cloud-init should appear in the next few days. Any image with a serial number newer than 20160707 should have cloud-init at 0.7.7bzr1246-0ubuntu116.04.1 .
