Thanks Joshua .. thats pretty much it yes So if i need to use Cloud Config / User data to execute scripts i must use cloud-init as well to do the customizization instead of using Perl ( VMware Customization ) baed on the provided KB [1]. The problem is when i do that i have no network, no IP, no updated hostname and of course no connectivity for anything to work.
what i also noticed is anytime i m using Staic IP during the provisioing from the automation too it triggers a VMware Customization, i don't even have to specify a customization Specification in vCenter for it to kick that off.
