AWS EC2 supports user-data scripts to specify the initialization script to be used by VM on launch.
This page contains the example of using "VM metadata". In particular, it specifies the usage of cloud-init.yaml config file.
I suppose (and it is only my guess based on the provided content on the page), that this is supposed be a cloud-init format file. But there is no any kind of information about what this file is, what is supported and what is not.
Can you please improve documentation about "VM metadata"? It is highly unclear to understand how the start-up script can be used for VM.
