I'm trying to figure out where the start-up configuration on this

initialization used to be, but here there is no such file anymore. I
know, I could create the file and do whatever I was doing before, but
I would prefer to do it the new way. For example, the hostname is set
to the internal hostname. Where is it done now?
On a high level, the answer is that systemd calls cloud-init, which is
used in Fedora 16 AMIs to handle (among other things) taking the
instance metadata (like the ssh public key) and putting it in the right
place (~ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys).
You can see the results in /var/log/cloud-init.log
I'm poking around to find the exact place in the code where it handles
the ssh public key, but I haven't found it yet. I'm sure someone else
will chime in with that piece of info.
