This may be true post jessie, but AFAIU, the 'OpenStack' data source isn't
supported out of the box in Jessie's version of cloud-init (see
#841315), and one may have to explicitely customize with a change of the
config file for it to be fully recognized. Still, ConfigDrive or the Ec2
may be enough, depending on the target cloud.
