Documentation request

It would really aid comprehension to provide a minimal usage example, e.g. perhaps something that creates a systemd service.

I envision including a basic #cloud-config YAML document + the bare minimum instructions for how it's expected that you get the file onto the box and how you make cloud-init execute it.

Otherwise the reader is left with a huge variety of disparate concepts and it's not clear how they all tie together.
