I think one of the issues is that where would this be posted back to in a 
generic fashion?

Cloud-init supports different datasources, some of those don't have a place to 
post-back to (some are read-only).

If u just want to do this for 1 case, that’s relatively easy. Just provide a 
shell script and use curl to send a file somewhere.

http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/examples.html#call-a-url-when-finished
 is also similar (but less capable than just providing your own shell script).

Subject: [Cloud-init] Random Password

Hi,

Is it possible to post the random password back to metadata as done in 
cloudbase-init (used in windows)

Regards
Chima
