DESCRIPTION

       Cloud-init provides a mechanism for  cloud  instance  initialization.   This  is  done  by
       identifying  the  cloud  platform  that  is  in  use,  reading provided cloud metadata and
       optional vendor and user data, and then initializing the instance as requested.

       Generally, this command is not normally meant to be run directly  by  the  user.  However,
       some subcommands may useful for development or debug of deployments.
