+## This file (/etc/cloud/templates/hosts.tmpl) is only utilized
+## if enabled in cloud-config. Specifically, in order to enable it
+## you need to add the following to config:
+## manage_etc_hosts: True
+##
+## Note, double-hash commented lines will not appear in /etc/hosts
+#
+# Your system has configured 'manage_etc_hosts' as True.
+# As a result, if you wish for changes to this file to persist
+# then you will need to either
+# a.) make changes to the master file in /etc/cloud/templates/hosts.tmpl
+# b.) change or remove the value of 'manage_etc_hosts' in
+# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or cloud-config from user-data
+#
+## The value '$hostname' will be replaced with the local-hostname

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
