I believe I've verified that using euca-run-instances base64 encodes data 2
times rather than once.
For example, with euca2ools configured to run against ec2, I do:
$ euca-run-instances --user-data "hello world" --key ec2-keypair ami-ef00e386
$ ssh ${ec2_host} 'wget -q http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data -O -'; echo
aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=
$ ssh $ec2_host 'wget -q http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data -O -' |
base64 -d; echo
hello world
This is true for both '--user-data' and '--user-data-file'.
