GCE's startup scripts are intended to be executed by Google's agents running within instances. If cloud-init _also_ attempts to handle them, they will be executed twice.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455650 Title: Startup scripts not pulled from metadata server on GCE Status in cloud-init: Won't Fix Bug description: The startup script on GCE is effectively the same as cloud-init's concept of user-data (startup script or configuration to be run at boot time). Currently, cloud-init pulls from http://metadata/computeMetadata/v1/instance/user-data instead of http://metadata/computeMetadata/v1/instance/startup-script. This should be changed during GCE migration to cloud init.
