I'll check our tooling. It wasn't me who built it. If I recall correctly, i think they were using an imaging tool but I couldn't recall the name

It looks like it maybe part of a hashicorp tool

oh, one project of ours is also using userdata. It uses terraform `data cloudinit_config` where it references an external yml file. The yml file has an entry `write_files:` and under it are the path, owner, permissions, encoding and content. I don't know if the yml file content is specific for terraform though

I found something similar but do I just import cloudinit like `import cloudinit`?
``` cloudconfig = cloudinit.get_config(
      base64_encode = False,
      gzip = False,
      parts = [
        cloudinit.GetConfigPartArgs(
          content = "#cloudconfig\npackages:\n- prometheus-node-exporter",
          content_type = "text/cloud-config",
          filename = "init.cfg"
        )
      ]
    )```

ah it said :slightly_smiling_face:
```pip3 install pulumi_cloudinit```
