Dear Christian and everybody,

sorry for waiting the last minute...  I am very short of free time those days.

How about the following variant ?  The goal is to:

 - Disambituate what is meant by "cloud".
 - Underline that cloud-init supports multiple APIs (you saw them in the debconf
   template).

Description: configuration and customization of instances in infrastructure clouds
 .
 Cloud-init provides a framework and tool to handle early initialization of
 virtual machine instances in infrastructure clouds (Infrastructure as a
 Service, IaaS).  It can for example set a default locale and hostname, generate
 SSH private host keys, add SSH keys to a user's authorized_keys so they can log
 in, set up ephemeral mount points, and run user-provided scripts.
 .
 Cloud-init supports various methods to pass data to the instance launch time,
 following the standard interfaces of multiple IaaS platforms.

Have a nice day,
