For your consideration, having <https://infuze.cloud/help/vm-creation-management#:~:text=inf...> without the ability for the user to influence the cloud-init of those newly launched instances is practically worthless
A middle ground may be for you to add just the webhook feature <https://docs.cloud-init.io/en/latest/reference/yaml_examples...> so folks could react to newly launched instances and provision them "from outside" or, of course, https://docs.cloud-init.io/en/latest/reference/modules.html#...
That's an excellent point, and you were 100% right. It was a major gap in our initial MVP. Your feedback (and similar comments) pushed us to prioritize this immediately. I'm happy to say we've already shipped full user-data and vendor-data support for cloud-init. You can now pass it in directly via the web UI during VM creation, or via our CLI/API. We wanted to make sure it was properly implemented before announcing it widely, but you called it out perfectly. Thanks for the push, this kind of feedback is exactly what we need to make the platform genuinely useful.
