I suspect this is 16.04 only.
in 18.04, ds-identify should disable cloud-init correctly.
in 16.04 its still set to reporting only mode. and in the log it shows that the list got set to Ec2 (maybe).  

I'm not sure what you were expectin though, whether you thouht cloud-
init should get some vmware data from somewhere.

Title:
  installing cloud init in vmware breaks ubuntu user

Status in cloud-init:
  Incomplete
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing cloud-init in vmware without any setup for user/vendor
  data it breaks the ubuntu user.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. take vmwre (free 30 days is fine)
  2. install xenial (maybe newer as well but my case was xenial)
  3. set up your user to be ubuntu/ubuntu (through the vmware fast installer)
  # you now have a working system
  # no user/vendor data provider was set up (unless vmware did some internally)
  4. install cloud-init
  5. reboot
  # on reboot I see the cloud init vmware data gatherer timing out (fine as expected)
  # But after that I can't login anymore, so it seems it changed the user

  This came up in debugging another issue - so there is a chance I
  messed the service dependencies up enough to trigger this :-/ (we need
  to check that)

  Sorry, this sucks at getting logs and since I can't login anymore ...
  I'll have to setup a new system with a second user to use to take a look.
