Add README Section About Using CloudInit Scripts #19

Closed Rabadash8820 closed 7 years ago

Rabadash8820 commented 7 years ago

Add back documentation to the README about using the cloud-init bash scripts from new CloudFormation templates. This text will be similar to the README at commit 90702d2501b9477a58793b5da9c7be4de33a5d9d. However, we tweaked the download code a little bit to more easily download/run multiple scripts, and to run curl in silent mode (curl -s).

So we're pretty much doing away with user data scripts altogether, since they can not easily be changed with stack updates on a running instance. The AWS-recommended way of doing this is with the CloudFormation::Init metadata on the instance. Issue #27 basically overrides this issue. We still need to update the README though, so I'm not cancelling this issue just yet.
