First, please understand what is "user data" in Amazon EC2. This is per instance(=VM) local data, which you can assign 16KB data when you boot a VM.
You can get this data by [EC2 VM]$ curl 169.254.169.254/latest/user-data do this from inside of each VM. What I hope is, using this data as rc.local file. Proposal is, 1. Add tar-gzip-uuencode ASCII data(16KB) to user-data. 2, Add some signature/magic/header... to the data. 3. When VM boots up, check user data and if the data has the signature, unzip it ( and run it). --- Okajima, Jun.
