``autoinstall``, ``preruncmd``, ``postruncmd``
==============================================

Since ``cloud-init`` ignores top level user data ``cloud-config`` keys, other
projects such as `Juju`_ and `Subiquity autoinstaller`_ use a YAML-formatted
config that combines ``cloud-init``'s user data cloud-config YAML format with
their custom YAML keys. Since ``cloud-init`` ignores unused top level keys,
these combined YAML configurations may be valid ``cloud-config`` files,
however keys such as ``autoinstall``, ``preruncmd``, and ``postruncmd`` are
not used by ``cloud-init`` to configure anything.

Please direct bugs and questions about other projects that use ``cloud-init``
to their respective support channels. For Subiquity autoinstaller that is via
IRC (``#ubuntu-server`` on Libera) or Discourse. For Juju support see their
`discourse page`_.
``autoinstall``
===============

Other projects, such as `Subiquity autoinstaller`_, use cloud-init to implement
a subset of their features and have a YAML configuration format which combines
``cloud-init``'s cloud-config with additional keys.

If you are an autoinstall user, please direct questions to their IRC channel
(``#ubuntu-server`` on Libera).

Can I use cloud-init as a library?
