The cloud-init address is used for dynamic configuration of your instances.

Reasons it might fail:
 - you might not have a neutron metadata-agent & proxy configured and running
 - your networking might be misconfigured : if instance networking
doesn't come up, you'll see that error.

I suspect the latter issue is the problem.
