ec2_instance = aws.ec2.Instance("ec2_instance",

vpc_security_group_ids = [my_sec_group.id],
user_data=user_data,
user_data_replace_on_change=True,
tags={

pulumi creates the instance as defined but does not run the user_data for some reason.
why would this be?

base64 encode it first, it’s usually an error with whitespace

I think it’s this line

but your script isn’t valid, in any case

09/29/2022, 8:23 PMthis script works when passed as user_data to terraform... I'll try creating a text file before that line to check...

09/29/2022, 8:25 PMI tried inserting 'touch /testfile.txt' to the start of the script but it didn't work either....

brash-restaurant-84207
09/29/2022, 8:38 PMthis appears to be the reason that the script is not running... but I'm not sure why the script is being read with a leading carriage return

09/29/2022, 9:25 PMout of curiosity why are you writing the stdout to script_output? user_data redirects all output to /var/log/user-data.log by default
