[Bug 434181] Re: rightscale init script

[Eric Hammond]

Here is the current documentation for user-data scripts: http://alestic.com/2009/06/ec2-user-data-scripts
And the original, reference implementation (run at S71 on Ubuntu): http://ec2-run-user-data.notlong.com

RightScale has completely different specs for how user-data is handled
in their environment for their own hooks and for users to pass in
information, so I don't think they would be compatible with user-data
scripts.

The benefit of the current approach with RightScale's lightweight init
script is that it only activates and installs RightScale software if it
is running in the RightScale environment.

Amazon only provides one way to pass in data to an instance (user-data)
and the content of that triggers whether startup should be done with
RightScale, user-data scripts, or with alternate user-defined
mechanisms.
