[Bug 1303986] Re: [FFe] CloudSigma Datasource doesn't handle vendor-data correctly

[Ben Howard]

** Description changed:

  Cloud Sigma has asked that we update the DataSource in Cloud-init to
  support the 14.04 VendorData construct. The regression potential for
  this change is low, as only the cloud-init Cloud-Sigma datasource is
  changed, a test suite has been provided and it has been tested by Cloud
  Sigma.
  
- [ORIGINAL BUG REPORT] 
+ The reason for this late-in-the-cylce change is so that Cloud Sigma can
+ have use the official Ubuntu Images with out conflating user and vendor-
+ data. Currently Cloud Sigma uses the user-data channel improperly for
+ transmitting vendor specific information to Cloud-init, when they should
+ be using the vendor-data channel. By switching to the proper channel for
+ vendor specific information, user-data and vendor-data will not be
+ mangled, preventing collisions of user-data and vendor-specific data.
+ 
+ [ORIGINAL BUG REPORT]
  It appears as the CloudSigma datasource only has support for 'user-data', and not 'vendor-data.'
