cloud-init is looking for a datasource; Did you attach an OVF?
Or an iso with cloud-init user-data?

You're attached ds-identify log shows it found it was running on VMware
but that there were no datasources[1]

VMware typically uses the DatasourceOVF[2], which can be provided to
an image through different transports.
