Description

Dear Developer/Team,

I noticed the abbreviation "NWCS" multiple times in the documentation but couldn't find its definition or explanation. Could you please clarify what "NWCS" stands for?

Thank you.

Best regards,

`The NWCS datasource retrieves basic configuration values from the locally accessible metadata service. All data is served over HTTP from the address 169.254.169.254.`

https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/0754ed2d62c6d58ac83fe85f12f34c86320bb7cb/doc/rtd/reference/datasources/nwcs.rst?plain=1#L3

Update:
NWCS could potentially stand for something like:
1 : "Network Web Configuration Service"
2 : "Network-Wide Configuration System",
but this is speculation.
