Intro

The open source project cloudbase-init is a service conceived and maintained by Cloudbase Solutions Srl, currently working on NT systems. It was designed to initialize and configure guest operating systems under OpenStack, OpenNebula, CloudStack, MaaS and many others. Under Cloudbase page, stable and beta installers can be found and the service itself is very easy to configure through configuration files. It can also customize instances based on user input like local scripts and data.

More details on how you can use this can be found under tutorial.
