Comment 5 for bug 1739516

@Jesse thanks for the bump and notes on this bug, since the origin of this bug we had added a related feature which allows init-lovel based datasources to set the hostname before network is brought online[1]. From my recollection of the feature, it requires that the datasource meta-data.local-hostname[2] (not user-data.hostname) to provide "local-hostname" config.

If you get a chance would you be able to:
 1. provide the steps used in terraform to reproduce this issue
 2. attach the tar.gz from cloud-init `sudo collect-logs -u`. Note that this collect-logs will include user-data, so please double check to make sure you don't have sensitive information (passwords/credentials) provided from the user-data/meta-data provided during launch.

Thank you, the attached logs will help confirm suspicions on why this feature isn't quite enough for terraform type deployments.
