There are some clouds like aws that does not require providing bootstrap usernames during server launches but inherits default bootstrap usernames from clouds depending upon platform of the machine image used.
For example AWS windows defaults to : "Administrator" and AWS linux defaults to "ubuntu". Making sure these usernames are set along with the password is going to be very helpful. Currently in 2015.06 aws, the username does not seem to be set.
Also maybe a method to get default bootstrap usernames if exists for clouds might help users get more info prior to launch.

I don't exactly follow what you're asking for here.
Firstly, are you sure those values are specific to the cloud itself and not just baked into the image?
Secondly, Dasein doesn't associate username/password information with a returned VM at all. Are you asking that we do that? Or are you asking us to specifically apply the "default" usernames at launch time?
We could possibly add a capability that returns the default usernames for a cloud if they exist but I'm not convinced that they aren't part of the image rather than something the cloud is doing.
