Could you open a bug on cloud-init for that? http://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+filebug > but I do not know how to get the local IP address as a variable to put into > the template.

The hack that I can think of is to add an upstart job or user-data hook that just does this for you. Anyone have better ideas?
