Before you begin:

Create your VM with a template that is compatible with cloud-init version 0.7.9 or above, or cloudbase-init, or a similar system

Notes about bootstrap in private cloud

If the user does not enter the FQDN on the General tab when editing the VM, the platform will try to set the FQDN using the name or ID attribute of the VM, and the domain of the VM's networks, or the localhost domain
If DHCP is not used in your datacenter, the network configuration of the VM can be read from cloud-init, so you do not need to configure the network or allow access to the VM
Abiquo uses the ConfigDrive DataSource for cloud-init. Reference: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/configdrive.html
