cloud-init-local.service writes to /var/lib/cloud/ and is more correct to have that listed here than /var/lib.

      and Before=sysinit.target.
      This is done run sufficiently early enough to update /etc/fstab.

    • add Before=NetworkManager.service so that cloud-init can render
      NetworkManager network config before it would apply them.
  • systemd/cloud-init.service:
    • add Before=sysinit.target and DefaultDependencies=no (LP: #1611074)
    • drop Requires=networking.service to work where networking.service is
      not needed.
    • add Conflicts=shutdown.target
    • drop unnecessary Wants=local-fs.target
  • net: support reading ipv6 dhcp config from initramfs [LaMont Jones]

    environment variables to a subprocess call.
  • Adjust mounts and disk configuration for systemd. (LP: #1611074)
  • DataSources:
    • Ec2: protect against non-dictionary in block-device-mapping.

      available but not enabled by default [kaihuan.pkh]
    • DigitalOcean: use meta-data for network configuration and
      enable data source by default. [Ben Howard]
    • OpenNebula: replace parsing of 'ip' command with similar function
      available in cloudinit.net. This fixed unit tests when running
