If your using configuration drive, cloud init tries to DHCP by default anyway, which delays the boot sequence as it seeks out a network attached metadata source. So instead, disable the automatic activation so the configuration drive data source is acutally leverage. Additionally add further notes to provide guidance to users of DIB.

cloud-init-datasources
Configures cloud-init to only use an explicit list of data sources.
Cloud-init contains a growing collection of data source modules and most are enabled by default. This causes cloud-init to query each data source on first boot. This can cause delays or even boot problems depending on your environment.
Including this element without setting DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES will cause image builds to fail.
Environment Variables
- DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES
-
- Required
-
Yes
- Default
-
None
- Description
-
A comma-separated list of valid data sources to limit the data sources that will be queried for metadata on first boot.
- Example
-
DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES="Ec2"will enable only the Ec2 data source. - Example
-
DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES="Ec2, ConfigDrive, OpenStack"will enable the Ec2, ConfigDrive and OpenStack data sources.
Warning
Use of the ConfigDrive data source is only considered, by default,
for initial network configuration per cloud-init documentation. It is
recommended that you utilize OpenStack in addition to
ConfigDrive to collect all available metadata and
configuration. As a result of configuration drive use, cloud-init's
automatic metadata discovery network activation is disabled.
