Some of the upstart jobs that it does to make it run "really early" might cause issues with networking being less reliable or predictable. this is really just a warning / admission that there might be issues. i *do* think that there needs to be one single thing that does initial first boot installation. * It might be useful to allow at the cobbler (or provisioning level) user-data that then would get to cloud-init. * somewhat obvious thought... would potentially be nice if there was an ec2-like api cobbler/orchestra * cloud-init should be treated as the "configuration management bootloader", i.e., the gateway to being managed by puppet/chef/ensemble/rightscale/etc * initial pxe boot image on the network should be a "collect data and report it" image. Then, when a new system is plugged into the network it will boot that image, and report back its mac and cpu/meminfo/disk... == Actions == - pre-execution environment ( boot, collect data about system, report to cobbler ) - discovery step - hardware configuration
