Hi, I encounter some issue when I tried to find a way, to pass cloud-init to machine with ansible and connect to API.

Actually I using this ansible module:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.3/proxmox_kvm_module.html


There are my tasks:
Code:
---
  - name: "Clone CentOS"
    proxmox_kvm:
      api_user    : "{{ api_user }}"
      api_password: "{{ api_password }}"
      api_host    : "{{ api_host }}"
      node        : "{{ proxmox_node }}"
      storage     : "{{ proxmox_storage }}"
      clone       : "{{ VM_source_name }}" # Have to be shutted down
      name        : "{{ VM_output_name }}" # Have to be unique, different then others
      format      : "{{ VM_data_format }}"
      timeout     : "{{ timeout_for_clonning_after }}"
      vcpus       : "{{ VM_Vcpu }}"
      cores       : "{{ VM_cores }}"
      memory      : "{{ VM_RAM_memory }}"
    register: Clone_output
    failed_when: >
      (Clone_output.msg == "VM with name <{{ VM_output_name }}> already exists")
    
  - name: "Start Clone"
    proxmox_kvm:
      api_user    : "{{ api_user }}"
      api_password: "{{ api_password }}"
      api_host    : "{{ api_host }}"
      name        : "{{ VM_output_name }}"
      node        : "{{ proxmox_node }}"
      state       : started
    register: Start_output
    until: "not Start_output.failed"
    retries: 3
    delay: 5

I looking how I can execute it from localhost and add cloud-init related stuff, like cloud-init file etc.
My main goal due to automatical dhcp and dns settings are to change template 'hostname' and 'ssh key' as desired by ansible variable before this machine starts.
Any tips how to obtain it guys?
