cloud-initはこれをネイティブにサポートするようになりました。ドキュメント（ http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/examples.html#run-commands-on-first-boot）のruncmdとbootcmdのコマンドの説明を参照してください。
"runcmd"：
#cloud-config
# run commands
# default: none
# runcmd contains a list of either lists or a string
# each item will be executed in order at rc.local like level with
# output to the console
# - runcmd only runs during the first boot
# - if the item is a list, the items will be properly executed as if
# passed to execve(3) (with the first arg as the command).
# - if the item is a string, it will be simply written to the file and
# will be interpreted by 'sh'
#
# Note, that the list has to be proper yaml, so you have to quote
# any characters yaml would eat (':' can be problematic)
runcmd:
- [ ls, -l, / ]
- [ sh, -xc, "echo $(date) ': hello world!'" ]
- [ sh, -c, echo "=========hello world'=========" ]
- ls -l /root
- [ wget, "http://slashdot.org", -O, /tmp/index.html ]
"bootcmd"：
#cloud-config
# boot commands
# default: none
# this is very similar to runcmd, but commands run very early
# in the boot process, only slightly after a 'boothook' would run.
# bootcmd should really only be used for things that could not be
# done later in the boot process. bootcmd is very much like
# boothook, but possibly with more friendly.
# - bootcmd will run on every boot
# - the INSTANCE_ID variable will be set to the current instance id.
# - you can use 'cloud-init-per' command to help only run once
bootcmd:
- echo 192.168.1.130 us.archive.ubuntu.com >> /etc/hosts
- [ cloud-init-per, once, mymkfs, mkfs, /dev/vdb ]
また、bootcmdの「cloud-init-per」コマンドの例にも注意してください。それの助けから：
Usage: cloud-init-per frequency name cmd [ arg1 [ arg2 [ ... ] ]
run cmd with arguments provided.
This utility can make it easier to use boothooks or bootcmd
on a per "once" or "always" basis.
If frequency is:
* once: run only once (do not re-run for new instance-id)
* instance: run only the first boot for a given instance-id
* always: run every boot
