Chiradeep, Thanks for the feedback,
We are aware what this is for. There is an issue we found where "boto", aws component used by cloud-init looks for meta-data dir. In ACS 4.1, the rewrite rule for meta-data dir is never added to router vm's .htaccess file - however we do see the code for it in vm_data.sh Hence we trying to understand - why its not added. Ill dig more tomorrow, if you can explain the context behind vm_data.sh, whats its for and why its executed - it would really speed up our debug efforts.

Noticed an odd behavior on ACS41 and vSphere, where each time you deploy a VM, on router vm under /var/www/html/latest/ the .htaccess file gets duplicate set of rewrite rules appended. Vm_data is called each time VM is deployed, and each time redundant RewriteRules are added to .htaccess file – per each run/vm demployment. Before I begin troubleshooting and fixing this issue (I can help rewrite the bash logic for checking if entry exists), could someone please give me a context as to how and when vm_data file is used. Also, for some reason metadata/meta-data Rewrite Rule is missing, I would like to understand where the call is made and how $folder variable is set. Thanks ilya
