+## Description ##
+Many VNF vendors support processing of userdata/cloud-init in their VMs. VCD 9.x currently does not support explicit userdata injection. However, such a functionality can be implemented by implementing a config drive in the VCD VIM connector. In the first phase, we plan to support simple userdata and SSH keys. The following workflow is expected
+- Generate cloud-init version 2 directory structure as per below reference
+    https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/configdrive.html
+- VIMconnector to generate ISO image
+- Create image in VCD organization catalog
+- VIMconnector to launch VM with additional disk based on above image
+
+## Demo or definition of done ##
+Verify parsing of userdata using cirros and Ubuntu-16 VMs
+IP address generation and multi-disk based VMs are not supported in this phase.
