Create cloud init template images

Ubuntu

qm create 5000 --memory 4096 --core 2 --name ubuntu-cloud --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
cd /var/lib/vz/template/iso/
qm importdisk 5000 ${UBUNTU_VERSION}-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk-kvm.img ${STORAGE:-local-zfs}
qm set 5000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 ${STORAGE:-local-zfs}:vm-5000-disk-0
qm set 5000 --ide2 ${STORAGE:-local-zfs}:cloudinit
qm set 5000 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
qm set 5000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0

Then change cpu stuff, disable memory balooning, set cloud init credentials and finally create template
