An especially ugly example, dropping root keys and setting the TZ in the zone
(which requires a post-creation reboot, but for an ugly example, you get the
idea.)
"customer_metadata": {
"root_authorized_keys": "SSH KEY",
"user-script" : "/usr/sbin/mdata-get root_authorized_keys >
~root/.ssh/authorized_keys ; /usr/sbin/mdata-get root_authorized_keys >
~admin/.ssh/authorized_keys ; while read x ; do echo ${x//UTC/US\/Eastern} ;
done < /etc/default/init > /etc/default/init.new ; mv /etc/default/init.new
/etc/default/init"
}
Cheers.
