I think with no config provided it is supposed to disable itself, so it is doing the right thing. Also see [1] for that.
But there are two things that can help debugging this in any case. 1. please check if it would work and run after reboot 2. after that please fetch and upload here the files /var/log/cloud-init-output.log /var/log/cloud-init.log But as I said, without data I assume it is supposed to disable itself.
