Fixing cloud-init [1453]: – cc_final_message.py[WARNING]: Used fallback datasource

Depending on the server configuration, I’ve noticed at the end of the boot cycle Ubuntu throws this error:

cloud-init [1416]: Cloud-init v. 23.3.3-0ubuntu0~22.04.1 running ‘modules:config’

cloud-init [1453]: Cloud-init v. 23.3.3-0ubuntu0~22.04.1 running ‘modules:final’

cloud-init [1453]: Cloud-init v. 23.3.3-0ubuntu0~22.04.1 finished

Datasource DataSourceNone.

cloud-init [1453]: – cc_final_message.py[WARNING]: Used fallback datasource

You can disable this portion of the boot by typing:

sudo touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled
