Hello everybody,

I just received the following bug report on cloud-init.

Does somebody have experience with secondarly elastic network interfaces ?

By the way, I have not yet uploaded cloud-init 7.5, since I still have problems
with the regression tests failign in a minimal environment.  Suggestions are
welcome.

Have a nice day,
