Continuing the discussion from [Cloud init failed loading yank blob](https://community.learnlinux.tv/t/cloud-init-failed-loading-yank-blob/4911):

should read yaml blob..as far as I can make out there might be an issue with colon handling? util.py warning invalid format “” could not find expected ‘ : ‘ line 16 column 6??

The issue was indentation and I was able to trace the faults in GitHub 😊
