Description
The userdata template to bootstrap an EC2 VM is currently pretty static. I ran into an issue where the image I was using required changes to the template before it would start correctly. My worry is that this change could break starting other images.
If you're allowing the end-user to configure custom images then you might consider allowing them to configure custom bootstrapping that is specific to their images. Otherwise, the userdata template has to support "all" images in a heavy-handed way or only supports "supported" images which is limiting.
Not sure if this is related to #45 which seems to cover just augmenting the base userdata script.
