 Hey @sysvialink,

 

Have you figured this out?

 

The spec for cloud_init should be like this.

 

"guest_customization": {    
  "cloud_init": {
  "user_data":"<BASE64_ENCODED_CLOUD-INIT_SCRIPT_STRING>"
  },
"is_overridable": false
}

 

For the string, it can be shell script/JSON file but it must be base64 encoded.
