+- user-data:
+ This is the user data, as would be consumed from ec2's metadata service
+ see examples in doc/examples.
+- meta-data:
+ This file is yaml formated data similar to what is in the ec2 metadata
+ service under meta-data/. See the example, or, on an ec2 instance,
+ run:
+ python -c 'import boto.utils, yaml; print(
+ yaml.dump(boto.utils.get_instance_metadata()))'
