I don't think we ship anything that is exactly a *disk image* for this
kind of non-cloud, non-Atomic, minimal, probably-virtual deployment,

I suppose I'd tend to use virt-install or just install from the network
install image, for this kind of use.

Maybe we should look at this backwards and try to implement an
instance-data injection environment in libvirt, by default.  Then it
would be possible to use images which contain cloud-init unmodified, and
safely.


Coming to this thread late. There's been an RFE for virt-manager for a while to send in cloud-init data for cloud images:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981693

That would require using libguestfs to detect that the disk image is a ex. Fedora cloud image. And nowadays I'd lean more towards just disabling cloud-init and setting an empty password instead of doing the specific cloud-init dance. It's not trivial though.

The cloud images could give better feedback here, like if no cloud-init data is found in a short period of time then print a message that your cloud is misconfigured our you are using the image incorrectly. I don't know how practical that is though

Thanks,
Cole
