Public bug reported:

Hi,
 I'm using openstack (2:13.1.3-0ubuntu1) in a on-premise cloud to
manage, among other types, LXD ubuntu bionic virtual instances
(that run cloud-init version 18.3-9-g2e62cb8a-0ubuntu1~18.04.2),
and unfortunately the DataSourceOpenStack.py module fails to detect
openstack's presence, even if explicitely configured as the only data
source with "datasource_list: [ OpenStack ]".

After some investigation, I found that the detect_openstack function
fails because:

1) read_dmi_data always returns None because it detects to be inside a
   container ("systemd-detect-virt --container" returns "lxc")

2) even if 1) worked, none of the openstack detection rules would match: 
    "/proc/1/environ" does not contain "product_name=OpenStack Nova"
   (it contains "container=lxc" instead), DMI
    product_name is not "Openstack Nova" nor "OpenStack Compute" and
    DMI chassis_asset_tag is not "OpenTelekomCloud".

The same configuration worked well with the previous version of
cloud-init that did not enforce openstack detection.

Any advice for a proper solution? Is there any configuration to force
Openstack detection?

Note that... replacing "detect_openstack"'s content with "return
True", everything works correctly.

Thank you!
