Cloning a virtual machine with cloudbase-init

The cloudbase-init data is private to each virtual machine and will not be replicated by cloning. Therefore, when cloning a virtual machine with cloudbase-init, the new virtual machine will not have the same initial configurations. Consequently, it is recommended to uninstall cloudbase-init from the guest operating system before cloning the virtual machine.

Uninstalling cloudbase-init

On the guest operating system, go to Control Panel > Programs (Uninstall a program) to uninstall cloudbase-init.
