Per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1991261 there is confusion about the impact of dsmode=net vs local on cloud-init runtime.
This is a request for improved/conspicous general datasource documentation of dsmode settings and the impact to cloud-init configuration.
The only current doc references we have pointing to dsmode behavior are at specific datasources:
1. https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/opennebula.html?highlight=dsmode#datasource-configuration
2. https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/configdrive.html?highlight=dsmode#keys-and-values
