Cloud-init provides a mechanism for cloud instance initialization.
This is done by identifying the cloud platform that is in use, reading
provided cloud metadata and optional vendor and user
data, and then intializing the instance as requested.

It should be 'initializing'.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! You’re absolutely right—the word should indeed be “initializing” instead of “intializing.” Typos can sometimes sneak past even the most careful eyes.

Here’s the corrected sentence: https://www.maxim-timeclock.com

“Cloud-init provides a mechanism for cloud instance initialization. This is done by identifying the cloud platform that is in use, reading provided cloud metadata and optional vendor and user data, and then initializing the instance as requested.”

Your keen eye for detail is appreciated!
