      I personally would avoid Cloud init as it is largely a Ubuntu thing.

      Instead look into Flatcar or bootable containers

        It works on debian too, which of course is ubuntu's base distro. Just adding info.

          You also could just use Ansible

          Cloud init adds overhead to a clean Debian install. I've never really liked it personally.
