The huge table was scrolling off the page for me and it made more sense to break this up and have sections for each item anyway.

2018-10-09instance-data: Add standard keys platform and subplatform. Refactor ec2.Chad Smith
Add the following instance-data.json standardized keys: * v1._beta_keys: List any v1 keys in beta development, e.g. ['subplatform']. * v1.public_ssh_keys: List of any cloud-provided ssh keys for the instance. * v1.platform: String representing the cloud platform api supporting the datasource. For example: 'ec2' for aws, aliyun and brightbox cloud names. * v1.subplatform: String with more details about the source of the metadata consumed. For example, metadata uri, config drive device path or seed directory. To support the new platform and subplatform standardized instance-data, DataSource and its subclasses grew platform and subplatform attributes. The platform attribute defaults to the lowercase string datasource name at self.dsname. This method is overridden in NoCloud, Ec2 and ConfigDrive datasources. The subplatform attribute calls a _get_subplatform method which will return a string containing a simple slug for subplatform type such as metadata, seed-dir or config-drive followed by a detailed uri, device or directory path where the datasource consumed its configuration. As part of this work, DatasourceEC2 methods _get_data and _crawl_metadata have been refactored for a few reasons: - crawl_metadata is now a read-only operation, persisting no attributes on the datasource instance and returns a dictionary of consumed metadata. - crawl_metadata now closely represents the raw stucture of the ec2 metadata consumed, so that end-users can leverage public ec2 metadata documentation where possible. - crawl_metadata adds a '_metadata_api_version' key to the crawled ds.metadata to advertise what version of EC2's api was consumed by cloud-init. - _get_data now does all the processing of crawl_metadata and saves datasource instance attributes userdata_raw, metadata etc. Additional drive-bys: * unit test rework for test_altcloud and test_azure to simplify mocks and make use of existing util and test_helpers functions.
2018-09-25cli: add cloud-init query subcommand to query instance metadataChad Smith
Cloud-init caches any cloud metadata crawled during boot in the file /run/cloud-init/instance-data.json. Cloud-init also standardizes some of that metadata across all clouds. The command 'cloud-init query' surfaces a simple CLI to query or format any cached instance metadata so that scripts or end-users do not have to write tools to crawl metadata themselves. Since 'cloud-init query' is runnable by non-root users, redact any sensitive data from instance-data.json and provide a root-readable unredacted instance-data-sensitive.json. Datasources can now define a sensitive_metadata_keys tuple which will redact any matching keys which could contain passwords or credentials from instance-data.json. Also add the following standardized 'v1' instance-data.json keys:   - user_data: The base64encoded user-data provided at instance launch   - vendor_data: Any vendor_data provided to the instance at launch   - underscore_delimited versions of existing hyphenated keys:     instance_id, local_hostname, availability_zone, cloud_name
