Canonical's cloud-init handles early initialization of a cloud instances. Since cloud-init already has support for chef and puppet, the obvious choice is to add support for salt, as it would be useful to bootstap ubuntu servers as salt minions.

In an ideal scenario, I can launch a cloud server instance with cloud-init and it runs as a pre-seeded salt-minion, which contacts its master upon boot.

I'll be happy to coordinate with Corey and Canonical.
