This adds python + libraries to the iso. How much does this increase the image size?

Python 2.7 is already in the minimal image, so I'm hoping not much. I hope I can find out via ofBorg :)

ouch, running nix-shell -p cloud-init on the minimal ISO turns into a 60MB download and 500MB unpacked :-/
Not sure if that is the best way to test though.

Another approach would be to have a minimal script like the one @copumpkin wrote for AWS. Parse at least the ssh stuff and expect a nix expression for the rest. User data is free-form… |

Doesn't cloud-init block bootup until it manages to reach the metadata server? I can't recall exactly where I encountered that but IIRC it does. |

I'm closing this, I'll continue the conversation in #39076 to come up with something better suited to NixOS. |
