Public bug reported:
The AWS-related environment variable `INSTANCE_ID` is not populated
within the context of a "runcmd", like it is for a "bootcmd". In
"bootcmd", the value is set to the AWS EC2 instance id, as obtained from
the metadata endpoint.
I reproduced this with a minimal cloud-init file:
```
#cloud-config
# bootcmd executes during the first boot only
bootcmd:
- echo "INSTANCE_ID=$INSTANCE_ID" >> /tmp/bootcmd
# runcmd executes these lines during the initial boot
runcmd:
- echo "INSTANCE_ID=$INSTANCE_ID" >> /tmp/runcmd
```
