I thought about tests again.  I think we should do a test with a mocked
metadata service for each build, so we know that the image is able to
provision.  This should take no more than two minutes.

The EC2 metadata protocol is easy and can be served from a static
server.  GCE seems to be static as well.  We just somehow need
169.254.169.254 accessible, but qemu network guest forwards should take
care of that.

For Azure I'm not sure, as the agent generates a RSA key and somehow
uses it to communicate with the old metadata service; I have not jet
worked with the new service used on Azure Stack.

Any thoughts?

Are there more images of the stuff you wrote on the board at the last
cloud sprint?  I only know about
