<@U02HZF6PA9E> i believe your userdata is base64 encoded on the remote side, you'll need to base64 encode it in your pulumi program

Hey <@UCWG26BH7> thanks! I did think about that but the user data in the current ec2 is built with cloud formation and is store base64 encoded. But I also tried pulumi with a b64 encoded string and also got the same issue that the strings did not match. But the string pulumi is providing is not a base64 encoded string. Looks more like a crypto hash. 

which provider are you importing with? the aws provider?

hrmm you might be best opening an issue for that I think

Ok thanks <@UCWG26BH7> will do. Any ideas on the cloudformation metadata?
