Description
Hey All,
I'm in a spot where I'm building out several Raspberry PI 4s and would love it if I could use cloud-init. I've got something working with NoCloud where I have a default configuration of NoCloud that points to /boot. This allows me to configure each RPI instance on boot by maintaining /boot/meta-data and /boot/user-data. Is there any appetite to add this to the RPI image? I'm happy to contribute back.

Research direction
Start by locating the Raspberry Pi image configuration and its existing NoCloud setup. Review how /boot/meta-data and /boot/user-data would be incorporated into the image, then determine the expected boot behavior and validation needed to show that per-device configuration works.
