For the full article, see: https://clearlinux.org/blogs/announcing-clr-cloud-init All, Julio Montes and me have been working for the past period on a native C implementation of cloud-init, with the goal of eliminating sizeable unwanted dependencies from our cloud-focused images. This is now public code (available at https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-cloud-init) and will become available soon in clear linux cloud images. The implementation is optimized for Clear Linux* project for Intel Architecture, and implements the basic container initialization steps for (currently) running Clear Linux OS under OpenStack. In the future we will expand it to other cloud deployments. We appreciate the feedback, feel free to start a discussion here on this mailing list. Bugs and pull requests can be sent to the github project as well. Thanks, Auke Kok Julio Montes

Hi, I'd say no - everyone (including the reference implementation) is clearly implementing along the same spec here - as it should be. We want users to be able to provide the same cloud-config syntax to all of their cloud nodes, no matter the VM OS. I do not think that this project will turn into something that is radically different over time, either.
