Right. I think the use of user metadata here is wrong. It is meant for providers like OpenStack that support key value pairs in the metadata, but not for this. Mind changing it and add the `userData` field to the DigitalOceanTemplateOptions, and also [this comment](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/blob/master/providers/digitalocean2/src/test/java/org/jclouds/digitalocean2/compute/DigitalOcean2ComputeServiceLiveTest.java#L63) to properly indicate user metadata (in the form of arbitrary key value pairs) is not supported?
