Public bug reported:
cloud-init (ds-identify) cannot positively identify a vmware cloud
environment where customization data will be present. In order to avoid
false positive, it requires the user to set
'disable_vmware_customization: false' in a config file.
That is a very bad user experience, and means that the image with that
set is less portable as it will identify as OVF even if it is moved
outside vmware.
We need a way to positively identify VMWare where OVF customization is expected.
On other clouds this is done via DMI information.
Can we have VMware identify itself to cloud-init in some way?
