Unfortunately that still shows escaped newline characters so isn't any more 
readable.  For example:

TASK: [ec2-launcher-v2 | debug var=cloudinit_user_data] 
***********************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "cloudinit_user_data": "#cloud-config\nusers:\n - name: core\n   
ssh-authorized-keys:\n     - ssh-rsa AAAA..."
