This is great news, good job!

Really glad to see acpid was not excluded. Ctrl+alt+del ftw! :-)

One suggestion, please add also this to kernel command line so we can

console=tty0

I'm not sure if the included cloud-init contains the grow root feature, 
but if it does is LVM partitioning supported?
