Ben Howard has looked at this a bit. In my mind, the end goal would be to get a "vagrant datasource". He did some work at https://code.launchpad.net/~utlemming/cloud-init/DataSourceVBOX/+merge/144828 but both of us agreed it wasn't really ready to be merged. I really would like to have vagrant use Ubuntu images, and IMHO (obviously I'm biased) I think it makes sense for vagrant to offload much of its instance-initialization to cloud-init. Also note, 'ec2ubuntu' is clearly a good source for information on cloud-init as there are lots of people here who have used it. However, this thread seems really more "cloud-init" specific, so I've copied the cloud-init mailing list. Please lets at least dual post there.
