9. Starting Atomic Host
Atomic host needs cloud-init data
Info about the host, i.e. meta-data
Info about the user, i.e. user-data

10. cloud-init data
$ cat meta-data
instance-id: iid-local01;
local-hostname: myhost;
$ cat user-data
#cloud-config
password: mypassword
ssh_pwauth: True
chpasswd: { expire: False }
ssh_authorized_keys:
- ssh-rsa ... foo@foo.com
$ genisoimage -output init.iso -volid cidata -joliet
-rock user-data meta-data
