cloudimage cloudinit and the machine-id is not updated

[immo]

HI folks,

does anybody know if the cloudinit of proxmox creates successful a new machine-id if the cloud-image is regenerated ?
It tried ubuntu cloudimage for 20.04 and it seems the machine-id in ubuntu is NOT updated... this makes things a bit more difficult .. like new host ip via dhcp

Not if it is regenerated, but if the user or network config is changed, the instance-id is different, as it is a hash of the user config combined with the network config.
