Bug Description
In upstream cloud-init ubuntu_advantage user-data cloud-config key is deprecated in favor of ubuntu_pro to better align with current Ubuntu Pro product naming and to avoid confusion in howtos, tutorials or tooling when interacting with Ubuntu Pro offerings.
In an effort to standardize product naming across all Ubuntu supported releases, we will target a backport of this key deprecation to Xenial and Bionic to ensure Ubuntu Pro's releases covered by Extended Security Maintenance will also align with active Ubuntu Long Term Support(LTS) and interim release configuration keys.
This bug is an SRU process bug representing the intent to backport a limited scope of functionality related to the cc_ubuntu_advantage module for better Ubuntu Pro support ESM releases.
No other functional changes are intended beyond logged messages, user-data schema and config-key deprecation.
