Thanks. I have filed a bug. [1] I am aware that cloud-init 0.7.9 is quite an old version. The good news is, CentOS Team has rebased its cloud-init source to upstream version 18.2 as of 2018-10 [2]. The new cloud-init package is already in the repo (could be yum updated). But the latest pre-built cloud image is 1809, so it is stuck at 0.7.9 for now. Highly likely cloud-init 18.2 would be available in the next pre-built cloud image release.
