As for cloud-init, when you set it in the Edit VM, initial run (without
run-once), on the first time you will run the VM in your environment(first
boot for that VM in your environment), cloud-init will use it.
While, on run-once, it will use the configuration again.

I don't really understand point 8. But from at 5 the VM should consume the
cloud-init configuration and it should stay in the VM.
You may try and reconfigure if you use run-once again, setting cloud-init
configuration again.
It looks OK.

I'm not sure about centos8.2, adding +Sandro Bonazzola <sbona...@redhat.com>
