Thanks for the info Vitaly. I checked the code a bit and filled a bug report. There seems to be a problem with testing an instance of some boto lazy-evaluating class:

Hi,
to people who were testing cloudinit 0.7.0 in an environment using the
DataSourceEc2 (OpenStack, Amazon, probably other environments too):

In Openstack and amazon, you can upload public keys to the web interface
of the cloud, and the public keys are then downloaded to each instance
you launch. Cloudinit then takes care of downloading the public keys and
placing them to .ssh/authorized_keys. It reaches the keys via the EC2
api (i.e. http://169.254.169.254).

Did you manage to get a user's public key to authorized_keys with
cloudinit 0.7.0?


I've managed to get this working with EC2. But there is an issue with 0.7.0 - the authorized_keys file is filled in only for 'default' user (so if you change this setting in cloud.cfg you'll end up with no authorized_keys file). It looks like a bug (or a weird feature :), gholms wanted to discuss this issue with upstream.
