Launch the Web Server with Cloud-Init

To eliminate the manual effort of running Docker, you can add docker run and its arguments to the cloud-init user data file by using runcmd:

#cloud-config
hostname: photon-on-01
groups:
- cloud-admins
- cloud-users
users:
- default
- name: photonadmin
   gecos: photon test admin user
   primary-group: cloud-admins
   groups: cloud-users
   lock-passwd: false
   passwd: vmware
- name: photonuser
   gecos: photon test user
   primary-group: cloud-users
   groups: users
   passwd: vmware
packages:
- vim
runcmd:
- docker run -p 80:80 vmwarecna/nginx

To try this addition, run another instance with the new cloud-init data source and then get the public IP address of the instance to check that the Nginx web server is running.
