+Configuring Vyos with cloud-init
+################################
+
+Vyos uses cloud-init to configure itself automatically in cloud environments.
+
+There is a Meta-Data module `cc_vyos.py` that takes care of the cloud-specific configuration.
+
+Additional module `cc_vyos_userdata.py` introduces a new parameter `vyos_config_commands` into User-Data (`#cloud-config`). This parameter should be a list of VyOS configuration commands that will be applied during deployment. This module will run last.
+
+Commands requirements:
+ - one command per line
+ - if command ending by value, it must be inside single quotes: `set some option 'value'`, `delete some option 'value'`
+ - a single-quote symbol is not allowed inside command or value
+The commands list produced by the `show configuration commands` command on a VyOS router should comply with all the requirements, so it is easy to get a proper commands list by copying it from another router.
+
+Usage example (User-Data content):
+```
+#cloud-config
+vyos_config_commands:
+ - set system host-name 'demo123'
+ - set system ntp server 1.pool.ntp.org
+ - set system ntp server 2.pool.ntp.org
+ - delete interfaces ethernet eth2 address
+ - set interfaces ethernet eth2 address '192.0.2.1/24'
+```
