| If specifying the profile through the ''AWS_PROFILE'' environment variable, you may also need to set ''AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG'' to a truthy value (e.g. ''AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1'') for advanced AWS client configurations, such as profiles that use the ''source_profile'' or ''role_arn'' configurations. | If specifying the profile through the ''AWS_PROFILE'' environment variable, you may also need to set ''AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG'' to a truthy value (e.g. ''AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1'') for advanced AWS client configurations, such as profiles that use the ''source_profile'' or ''role_arn'' configurations. | ||
| - | \\ | + | ==== Adding User Data in Configs ==== |
| + | To add a user data file into a startup/config script, first store your script in a server-accessible location, then create a file named ''userdata.txt'' using the following template: | ||
| + | <powershell> | ||
| + | C:\\Path\\To\\Your\\Launch\\Scripts\\InitializeInstance.ps1 -Schedule | ||
| + | </powershell> | ||
| + | You can then launch the instance by specifying the text file containing pointers to your script(s): | ||
| + | resource "aws_instance" "my-test-instance" { | ||
| + | ami = "${data.aws_ami.ec2-worker-initial-encrypted-ami.id}" | ||
| + | instance_type = "t2.micro" | ||
| + | |||
| + | tags { | ||
| + | Name = "my-test-instance" | ||
| + | } | ||

| + | user_data = "${file(userdata.txt)}" | ||
