cloudinitd 1.0.1

An Open Source bootstrap tool for services in the cloud.

This package can be considered the /etc/rc.d of the cloud!

This libary helps users bootstrap many dependent VMs in a cloud (or many clouds). Services are associated with virtual machine images in a cloud and then organized into levels. Each level is booted in order. Booting a level means launching and configuring all of the VMs needed for each service in the level to run. Once level 1 is booted and ready to go, booting begins on level 2.
