Yaml has a notation for multiline string. I set user data like so:
user_data: |
#!/bin/bash
echo "Defaults:{{admin_user}} !requiretty" > /etc/sudoers.d/
disable_requiretty
Note the pipeline character.
# Join multiple lines without new line
value: >
part 1
part 2
# Join with newline
value2: |
line 1
line 2
