[14:17] <smoser> vans163, i see something back from the 25th from you. fwiw, cloud-init will look for the cdrom seed every time.
[14:18] <smoser> i had mentioned this to  you at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2016/11/16/%23cloud-init.html#t15:00
[14:19] <smoser> not pointing to that to be rude and say "i already told you this" but rather so you can look at it as the answer is still relevant.
[18:28] <vans163> smoser:  ah  "	if you want to detach that disk, then you will need to tell cloud-init "manual_cache_clean: True".  And you have to write that (probably via user-data) into /etc/cloud.cfg.d or the next reboot, it will go  looking for a datasource again."   ?
[18:28] <vans163> smoser: Totally did not remember that appreciate the refresher.
