Bug Description

The following log files :

/var/log/cloud-init.log
/var/log/cloud-init-output.log

produced by Cloud-Init are not rotated. As a consequence, they keep growing indefinitely and can fill up the underlying partition.

Is it possible to supply a logrotate configuration in the cloud-init package ?

Regards
