I saw a mention of the automation API in the above thread and it has me wondering if I could use it for post-provisioning tasks on EC2 instances (i.e. a replacement for userData)? @brave-planet-10645 if you have any input on this I'd love to hear it
I guess it probably depends on what is in the userData right now. I think it would probably be difficult to use Node to mount volumes, create filesystems, etc
