###Ubuntu 14.04 (upstart)

Stage-1
---------
/etc/init/cloud-init-local.conf
start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/

Stage-2
---------
/etc/init/cloud-init.conf

###Execute Cloud-Init Manually

Stage-1

Stage-3
---------
cloud-init modules --mode=config

Stage-4
---------
cloud-init modules --mode=final


###Data Sources

Stage-1
---------
NoCloud Data Source

Look for local data here:
/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud/{meta-data,user-data,network-data,vendor-data}

If present, copy to /var/lib/cloud/instances/<instance_id>

* Will also attempt to mount vfat or iso device with LABEL="cidata" (if attached)
and copy data:
mount /dev/sr0 (or /dev/sdb, etc) /tmp
cp /tmp/{meta-data,user-data,network-data,vendor-data} /var/lib/cloud/instances/<instance_id>/*

Stage-2
---------
cat /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg
datasource_list: [ NoCloud, ConfigDrive, OpenNebula, Azure, AltCloud, OVF, MAAS, GCE, OpenStack, CloudSigma, Ec2, CloudStack, None ]

* By default, first datasource listed is the priority. If metadata is discovered, it is ccopied to /var/lib/cloud/instances/<instance_id>/*

* All python modules listed in init stage (/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg) will execute.

Stage-3
---------
* All python modules listed in config stage (/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg) will execute.

Stage-4
---------
* All python modules listed in final stage (/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg) will execute.
