Hello, You need to configure the datasource for cloud-init to utilize EC2.
I've used the following in the past as part of our image build process to get around this: echo "cloud-init cloud-init/datasources string NoCloud, OVF, Ec2" > /tmp/debconf-selections /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections /tmp/debconf-selections rm -f /tmp/debconf-selections apt-get -y install cloud-init There may be more elegant ways to solve this problem but the above has worked for me. YMMV. --- Joseph Breu Deployment Engineer Rackspace Cloud Builders 210-312-3508 On Feb 29, 2012, at 12:47 AM, Lillie Ross-CDSR11 wrote: > All, > > I've built a custom image according to the various directions available in > the nova docs.
