> Cloud-init 0.7.5 (not yet released) will have the ability to read from an

> In a recent change I did we now use requests which correctly does SSL for
> the ec2-metadata/ec2-userdata reading.

> For ssl-certs that it will use by default (if not provided) will be looked

> 
> - /var/lib/cloud/data/ssl
>    - cert.pem
>    - key
> - /var/lib/cloud/instance/data/ssl
>    - cert.pem
>    - key
> - ... Other custom paths (typically datasource dependent)

> So I think in 0.7.5 for cloud-init this support will be improved and as
