@ccummings1 thanks for reporting this. Is this still occuring? If so, can you please paste contents of /var/log/cloud-init.log and /var/log/cfn-init.log from the corresponding ec2 instance.

I think I managed to repro this issue. Can't be certain it's the same without your logs, but it's likely the same root cause: I traced it to a bug in aws cfn-init which strangely fails to install a required package (python-boto). Pushed a workaround (c92fe596fbf512da341b01909d1a1f2cae837f78 ) where we manually install the package instead.

Closing. Please re-open if this is still occurring.
