Public bug reported:

The CloudStack metadata can normally be found be asking the DHCP lease
server. The datasource plugin parses the lease file in order to figure
out the DHCP servers IP address.

To find the lease file, first /var/lib/dhclient is searched and if no
lease is found, /var/lib/dhcp is checked. If no lease file is found and
the DHCP server is not the same as default router, no metadata can be
found so cloud-init will fail.

When using NetworkManager the lease file is actually placed in
/var/lib/NetworkManager.

Patching line 141 in DataSourceCloudStack.py and add
"/var/lib/NetworkManager" so it looks like this will solve the problem:

    supported_dirs = ["/var/lib/NetworkManager", "/var/lib/dhclient",
"/var/lib/dhcp"]
