You have been subscribed to a public bug: per https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-customizing.en.html | The rc.local script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
Generally speaking people expect rc.local to be run as "the last thing in boot". currently it is being run by systemd much earlier. Provided in the attached is user-data that tells cloud-init to write a file in /usr/local/bin/rc-local-message and edit set rc.local to execute it. On current wily, under most scenarios the script will not be executed as rc.local will most likely run before the cloud-init service has a chance to update /etc/rc.local. To reproduce: a.) launch an instance with provided user-data Expected behavior would be: 1. /run/rc-local-message exists with contents of /proc/uptime at the time it was run 2. /rc-local-message.mark exists with the number of times this script has been run ('1' after first boot) 3. /var/log/rc-local-message.log exists with a message like: [/var/log/rc-local-message.log] <date> === successful boot 1 ==== 4. console log should also have message like in 3 with '/dev/console' 4 is broken as rc.local output is not sent to console as reported separately at bug 1468102.
