Short answer: there is no supported path for running versions of cloud-init newer than 0.6.3-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 12.04.
However, some information on the general process may help you out.
For currently supported versions of Ubuntu you can upgrade to the latest supported cloud-init with 'apt-get upgrade'. At this point Ubuntu 12.04/precise is out of support, so this specific question is mostly no longer relevant.
In Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04, cloud-init very much followed the standard Stable Release Updates policy in Ubuntu. We only backported bug fixes but left the major version the same.
In 16.04 and going forward in 18.04, we have an exception to the SRU process. We are actively pulling back new versions which allows us to add new features and keep the same code base active on all Ubuntu releases > 16.04.

But you did not answer the question. Is there solution or not? We know that Ubuntu 12.04 is out of support. – Pajsije Apr 25 '22 at 04:51
