-This key contains a prioritized list of datasources that ``cloud-init``
-attempts to discover on boot. By default, this is defined in
-:file:`/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d`.

-2. Force cloud-init to use a specific datasource: A single entry in
-   the list (or a single entry and ``None``) will override datasource
-   discovery, which will force the specified datasource to run.
-3. Remove known invalid datasources: this might improve boot speed on distros

+``cloud-init`` skips checks if the list contains a single datasource.
