Package builders under this folder are development only templates. Do not rely on them.

## Build/Install

Cloud-init's build/install procedure is not OS/Distro independent as cloud-init
is tightly couple to OS implementation details, as for example,
the init units' definitions, see [systemd/](systemd/) and [sysvinit/](sysvinit/).

For users interested in trying out cloud-init, a pre-built image is the easiest option.

For users interested in packaging cloud-init, see the reference implementations under this folder
and official packages in the following section.
