It has to do with cloud-init searching for a metadata server which can provide per-instance data. Assuming you don't have a metadata server, your container would probably never fully come up. It's something which comes preconfigured in the ubuntu-cloud images for the sake of auto-configuration in amazon and openstack clouds (i.e. not in containers, but on cloud VMs - the same image is used for both). You *could* set up your own metadata service, but I've never done it...
