Once a (Ubuntu) droplet has been deployed, is it safe to remove the cloud-init, cloud-guest-utils and cloud-initramfs-growroot packages?
Is cloud-init used for things like resizing / root password reset / rebuild from image?
Thanks!

OK thanks, that’s the answer I was looking for.
Hi Kint,
We use Cloud-Init for imaging/snapshotting setups. If you plan to snapshot modify this Droplet, we recommend leaving the Cloud-Init packages in place.
Tacking onto this: are there any plans to have an “OPT OUT” for installation of this by default?
