Hi Christian and Justin,

sorry for lagging in my answers.

For the short description, I think that "initialization system for
infrastructure cloud instances" is more correct, because cloud-init initialises
the instances (that is, the virtual machines), not on the infrastructure that
manages them.

The long description is already much improved compared to the original, but if
I could make one last proposition, it would be to de-jargonize further the
parts about ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and IaaS.  How about the following ?

Description: initialization system for infrastructure cloud instances
 Cloud-init provides a framework and tool to configure and customize virtual
 machine instances for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds platforms.  It
 can for example set a default locale and hostname, generate SSH private host
 keys, install SSH public keys for logging in a default account, set up
 ephemeral mount points, and run user-provided scripts.
 .
 Various methods are supported for passing data to the instance at launch
 time, including the standard interfaces of multiple platforms.

Cheers,
