No, it will not. Currently, it uses FirstBoot. It’s a bit cumbersome, I know, 
but that is what we have and already use with the SBC image. Alternatively, the 
documentation describes how to use guestfs-tool’s virt-customize for initial 
configuration and disabling FirstBoot.

Cloud-init provides a "no-cloud“ option. But there are several long-standing 
bugs with it (especially network configuration). Naturally, in a cloud specific 
development, a no-cloud option does not necessarily rank high on the list of 
priorities. And it does not support setting up Fedora Server Edition's default 
configuration in a =simple= way, e.g. disabled root account. You have to 
provide a full meta data config file instead of using CLI parameters or Cockpit 
UI options.
