Hi Srikanth, File Injection is not available through Horizon.
Atul is describing a different feature that can be used to achieve similar results. The contents of "User-Data" will be accessible to the instance via "http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data"; - Ubuntu ships with a tool called cloud-init that makes use of this data if available. Eg One of the simple use cases for cloud-init is, if the data starts with "#!", it will assume it's a shell script and download + execute it. This can, in a roundabout way, be used to achieve similar results to the file injection feature.
