A developer is testing cloud-init with a local VM using the NoCloud datasource. They have created an ISO with the label 'cidata' containing user-data and meta-data. When the VM boots, cloud-init does not detect the datasource. What is the most likely cause?

The ISO filesystem is not supported.

The user-data file is not named correctly.

The ISO is not attached as a CD-ROM device.

Why is it important to clean cloud-init state before creating a system image?

To disable cloud-init on the new instance

To reduce the size of the image

To ensure cloud-init runs fresh on the first boot of the new instance

To remove all users from the image

A company is migrating from a legacy provisioning tool to cloud-init. They want to ensure that cloud-init does not overwrite the hostname set by their DHCP server. What should they configure?

Set 'hostname: false' in user-data.

Use 'fqdn' in user-data to set the hostname.

Set 'preserve_hostname: true' in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.

Remove the 'hostname' module from 'cloud_init_modules'.

What is a key requirement for integrating cloud-init into a system image?

The image must include cloud-init and it must be enabled to run on first boot

The image must be built using a specific tool like Packer

The image must have a static IP address configured

The image must be based on a minimal Linux distribution

Which of the following is a valid way to provide user-data to cloud-init?

By embedding it in the instance's kernel command line

By writing it to the instance's BIOS settings

By passing it as a parameter to the cloud provider's API or web interface when launching the instance

By placing a file in the /etc/cloud/ directory on the instance
