       cloud-init - Cloud instance initialization

SYNOPSIS

       cloud-init     [-h]    [-d]    [-f    FILES]    [--force]    [-v]    {init,modules,single,query,dhclient-
       hook,features,analyze,collect-logs,clean,status}

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.
