Hi, I'm trying to create an autoscaling group for an EC2 instance with custom UserData. I see that it is possible to add userData through the (`awsx.autoscaling.AutoScalingUserData`) `extraRuncmdLines()` and the `extraBootcmdLines()` functions; but looking at the code,
(<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-awsx/blob/3c2cd20b945d9a5fa8cf5f76e399ff16961248d1/nodejs/awsx/autoscaling/launchConfiguration.ts#L164>) these seem specifically made for containers.

I'm having trouble sending userData that includes installing Ubuntu packages and files, is there a way to do this? Thanks.

The specific problem I'm having is that once the instance is created it doesn't seem to be sending the `cfn-signal` (which aws uses to indicate that the cloudformation stack was successful)
