cloud-init : command not found

by Deepika

The cloud-init command is a utility in Linux that is used to initialize and configure cloud instances. Cloud instances are virtual machine instances that are created and run on a cloud platform, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure.

To display the status of cloud-init, use the status subcommand:

# cloud-init status

This will display the status of cloud-init, including the current phase of initialization and any errors or warnings that have occurred.

# cloud-init init

This will force cloud-init to re-run all initialization tasks, including configuring networking, setting the hostname, and installing packages.

If you encounter the below error while running the command cloud-init:
