For "cloudbase-init screen" you mean the black command line window that shows up during the first boot?

The short answer is yes, we'll add a feature to hide the console window in the next release (max 2 weeks).

If you prefer, you can also change the following line in the unattend.xml available in teh CLoudbase-init conf folder, after install but BEFORE sysprep:

 <Path>"%INSTALLDIR%Python27\Scripts\cloudbase-init.exe" --config-file "%CLOUDBASEINITCONFFOLDER%cloudbase-init-unattend.conf"</Path>

With a script that will hide the window, e.g.:

<Path>PowerShell.exe -windowstyle hidden "%INSTALLDIR%Python27\Scripts\cloudbase-init.exe" --config-file "%CLOUDBASEINITCONFFOLDER%cloudbase-init-unattend.conf"</Path>
