I specifically left the old functionality, so the users can choose whether to use the script you mentioned, or the cloud-init's native functionality. So this code will not break the script functionality. Regarding the "the username can be changed in the script (by default it uses root)": cloud-init supports custom usernames too, it is a separate parameter in the cloud.cfg that is set to "ubuntu" in Ubuntu cloud image. I think the main issue with the cloud-init `set_password` module is that it was meant to set the _initial_ password for the VM, hence the default "force changing the password on the first login" behavior. If the need arises, the PR to cloud-init can be made for it to compare the cached password with the password in the config drive ISO, and change user's password if needed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
