Hi
You should check log files in /run/cloud-init directory for the root cause.
If cloud-init cannot find the datasource, it won't run.
The better way to configure datasource in cloud-init is using
ds-identify.cfg file
Delete "/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99_cloudstack.cfg" and create
"/etc/cloud/ds-identify.cfg" file with this content:
datasource: ConfigDrive, CloudStack
Then check output of this command:
DEBUG_LEVEL=2 DI_LOG=stderr /usr/lib/cloud-init/ds-identify --force
Unfortunately cloud-init is poorly documented and you should do some try
and error to fix it.
Take a look at this link:
