It reminds me of the silver ion spreading technique used in China to
create rain and wash Beijing's roofs from desert sand. Now *that* is
"cloud init". In a computing context, still no luck for me to understand
what it means. Whoever coined the term "cloud" in this context didn't
want to be descriptive.

I want to call it "rabbit" or "Shub-Niggurath" to make that clear:

"Everything about rabbit-init, a set of python scripts and utilities to
make your rabbit images be all they can be!" -> bullshit

"Shub-Niggurath-init is the defacto multi-distribution package that
handles early initialization of a Shub-Niggurath instance." -> that must
be the ritual part, before the rain comes.
