Bug Description

After installed Ubuntu18.04 Beta2 Server on a VMWare VM, cloud-init service running after power-on.
‘DataSourceNoCloud’ was detected, I checked /var/run/cloud-init directory, a result.json file shows “DataSourceNoCloud [seed=/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net] [dsmode=net]”.

This is not the expected datasource, the expected one should be 'DataSourceOVF'.
could you please help to check this.

Booting a server image on VMware does not mean it uses the OVF datasource.

You must provide an OVF to the image. If you believe that you did provide an OVF to the image, please attach the OVF iso and include the log file generated from: cloud-init collect-logs.
