[Openstack-operators] hostname on vms not correct until reboot

Hi Abel,

It's actually correct when logging in, but some services, like mcollective
are reporting the wrong fqdn until we reboot the VM so as a temporary fix
we added a reboot at the end of cloud-init.

Any better way to get this sorted properly though?
