Ubuntu: Disable cloud-init on Startup

June 28, 2023 — Gregg Szumowski

In systems that use systemd and have a current (17.0+) version of cloud-init, upstream documentation describes the process for disabling cloud-init with either of the following:

* touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled

or,

* add cloud-init=disabled to the kernel command line.
