Currently I have ssh keys getting imported but having some problems getting the disk to dynamically resize to the flavor template as well as the hostname set in horizon to be pushed into the image. Does anyone have any howtos or suggestions on how to get this done? Is there cloud-init for centos just like ubuntu? I would also be interested in how to do this with debian as well.

Sorry, I assumed that the 2.7-specific stuff was a conscious decision
upstream, so I didn't bring it up.  Targeting 2.6 as minimum required
version does make things easier for RHEL/CentOS (and even Ubuntu
Lucid, last I checked)

Would be great if you could commit a fix for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/970071 ...
Fedora has to carry a two-line patch for that right now, and it's a
pretty straightforward fix.
