Setting up Cloud-INIT VM inside Proxmox | Proxmox Home Server Series | Proxmox Home Lab

First. What is Cloud-INIT?
Cloud-init is the industry standard multi-distribution method for cross-platform cloud instance initialisation. It is supported across all major public cloud providers, provisioning systems for private cloud infrastructure, and bare-metal installations.

During boot, cloud-init identifies the cloud it is running on and initialises the system accordingly. Cloud instances will automatically be provisioned during first boot with networking, storage, SSH keys, packages and various other system aspects already configured.

2nd. How easy to get that setup?
Super Easy!
