cloud-init questions in vcloud 10.1.2

Does anyone use cloud-init for guest customization in vcd?  I came across it today and I've been having a hard time understanding what it is used for in vcloud or vsphere. Some of my basic questions:

  • What extra functionality does it bring during the guest setup?
  • From my limited understanding, you configure a template to install cloud-init and then mount an .iso to it. Is that accurate, you don't need any other software/setup?
  • What is the interaction with VMtools?

Thanks for any input!
