Cloud init is a tool that can be installed on a server.  It runs at boot
time and handles configuration of the server.

It's primarily designed for use in cloud environments, where the cloud
providers have a location accessible to that server only, that provides
the server with details like network configuration, or the ssh-key that
the user wants to use for protecting logins.

That allows a standardised installation to be passed out to all users,
without relying on some default password, for example, or without it
knowing all about network topology.
