> First, please understand what is "user data"

> 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).
