<p dir="ltr">Ahh, OK. Thanks for clarifying :-)<br>
I guess I need to work out the Pros/Cons of static vs dhcp and go from there.</p>

If you use the <a href="http://linuxcontainers.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">linuxcontainers.org</a> images instead of the ubuntu: images,<br>
you shouldn't have cloud-init (iirc). You can remove it by hand. It's<br>
purpose is to support automated post-install customizations in a cloud<br>
environment.<br>
<br>
Now, in general the recommended way to get a 'static' ip address would be<br>
to configure the dhcp server to hand the desired address to the container,<br>
but of course /etc/network/interfaces should still work (if you drop<br>
cloud-init)<br>
