Bug Description

Binary package hint: cloud-init

from http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/EucalyptusNetworkConfiguration_v2.0

| If your system is configured using SYSTEM or STATIC networking modes,
| then retrieving data requires the IP (or hostname) and port number of the
| Eucalyptus Cloud Controller (CLC):
|
| http://<IP or hostname of CLC>:8773/<specific meta-data information request>
|
| (We recommend that you set up a DNS entry for each cloud controller.
| This way you can configure your images to access the metadata service
| using a DNS name, thus avoiding the need to recreate pre-configured images
| in the event a specific IP address changes.)

cloud-init could/should try a well-known hostname in addition to the well
known hostname in addition to the well known IP address '169.254.169.254'
to support this.

on EC2, Amazon provides 'instance-data' hostname:
$ host instance-data
instance-data.compute-1.internal has address 169.254.169.254

So that might be a good idea to use that.
