cloud-init checks the config and uses whatever is configure. If this 
does not exist in the configuration cloud-init will fall back to auto 
detection mode. Note the auto detection mode exists twice, once in the 
code executed by the generator, i.e. tools/ds-identify and once in the 
Python code where we look for the data source.

HTH,
Robert
