[14:02] <devicenull> can I configure cloud-init to not do anything if it can't reach some kind of metadata service?
[14:02] <devicenull> I keep hitting issues where it'll fail to reach the metadata server, and fall back to the OS's default config
[14:28] <strikov> devicenull: If you can modify the image you may want to overwrite datasource_list: [....] in the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg. This is a list of datasources which cloud-init tries to use and you may leave just a single entry there (one that works).
[14:29] <devicenull> yea, I think I figured it out
[14:29] <devicenull> having ', None' at the end of that would cause it to ignore failures
