I started cloud init in proxmox, set the user name, password and IP address. Why do these parameters not take effect and need to install cloud init in the virtual machine?

cloudinit need a daemon/service running in the virtual-machine.

Then, proxmox genreate a config file, send through a cdrom to the agent inside the vm.

(some other cloud provider like aws, gcp,... use a cloudinit meta dataserver instead a cdrom, but this works without routed setup only)
