Comment 4 for bug 1739516

I am also running into this issue. We run DNSMasq and build out our cloud-init images with terraform. We're getting some pretty nasty networking issues because when we roll out any new batches of machines, they all request an IP with the hostname "Ubuntu", and then set their hostname afterwards.

Noticing the age of this ticket, has a better workaround for this kind of behavior been implemented that I missed? It's a pretty big blocker for us, and it seems reasonable to just be able to set the hostname in the local stage
