This will demonstrate booting the debian openstack cloud image locally under qemu-system-x86_64 and providing it information on a second disk that is read by the NoCloud datasource in cloud-init.

The debian image is unmodified from a download at https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/openstack/

To keep the original image clean we use qemu-img to create a copy-on-write image in qcow2 format backed by the original debian-9.1.1-20170725-openstack-amd64.qcow2 .

‘cloud-localds’ is used to create the ‘seed.img’ is available in the cloud-image-utils package.
