Garret, I pulled your systemd files from Fedora under revno 465.
If there is other work to do, let me know.

Under Fedora 16, the systemd resource cloud-config.target is defined as requiring both cloud-init-local.service and cloud-init.service. If no local datastore is defined (as possibly in an EC2 deployment), the cloud-init-local.service exits with a non-zero return code causing a cascade of failures related to dependent services:

Suggest changing the /lib/systemd/system/cloud-config.target definition to remove the mandatory requirement on cloud-init-local.service and make it optional. This should then allow the instance to be configured appropriately from the cloud-providers metadata/userdata resource as the remaining services will be allowed to run.

Good catch, Kevin. cloud-init shouldn't be failing when no data source exists. That is fixed in bzr rev. 524.
