Closing this BZ as this is expected behavior. cloud-init implementation is OS specific, so not a KubeVirt level issue. Also, in all cases I'm aware of cloud-init is run-once on first boot. Changing cloud-init should have no effect on subsequent boots. Please feel free to re-open if you feel this is incorrect.

Comment 2 Guohua Ouyang 2023-01-11 09:54:27 UTC

Move the bug back to UI for improvement.
Since changing the password does not work once the VM is started, it's better to add a statement to clarify the problem, otherwise we should disable the editing of the cloud-init password.

Comment 3 Guohua Ouyang 2023-08-22 10:54:49 UTC

Now it shows a warning message on 4.14 UI:
"Cloud-init and SSH key configurations will be applied to the VirtualMachine only at the first boot.
You must ensure that the configuration is correct before starting the VirtualMachine."
