Public bug reported: To replicate, attempt to pass in the example script from the doc here:
http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/format.html#user-data- script with base64 encoding. I tried using the AWS-SDK for Ruby V2 with a very simple base64 encoded script (which worked fine in trusty), and the sample script from above in the AWS EC2 console's launch-instance wizard (which looks like it's also doing base64 encoding behind the scenes). Attached are log files from passing the documentation's sample script into an Ubuntu 16.04 EC2 instance (ami-40d28157) by pasting the script into the user-data textbox of the launch instance wizard (which seems to do base64 encoding).
