    I was playing around with this a while ago, using cloud-init and virt-install. But I found it to be quite cumbersome if you don't have some kind of metadata service that can provide cloud-init with the user-data, ie. not using the nocloud provider.

    I started looking at this mock EC2 metadata service, but never did anything with it: https://github.com/sjjf/md_server
