Title:
  identify brightbox platform to enable Ec2 datasource

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Committed
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Brightbox provides an EC2 Metadata service lookalike, and that is how cloud-init
  gets metadata on their platform.

  In an effort to avoid polling metadata services in cloud-init we will disable
  attempts to reach the MD without positive identification of the cloud.

  We need to be able to positively identify that the host platform is
  brightbox so we can safely assume there will be a metadata service there.

  The easiest thing is for Brightbox to put something in dmi tables that identify
  their platform.  See bug 1660385 for more information and for how Amazon does
  this.
