When I input some user data (a Bash script) from AWS console it's not being saved in the instance and and running.

  • I installed Cloud-init from EPEL repo. (v0.6.5). Latest version is not available for CentOS 5.
  • I verified with EC2 Meta service (http://169.254.169.254/), my user-data is there.
  • I should get a user-data.txt file in /var/lib/cloud/instance/user-data.txt, but nothing is there. Actually there's no file inside /var/lib/cloud/, only the directory structure exists.
  • I tried to work with default /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg and a custom one from https://stackoverflow.com/a/23411409 , none worked.

  • I checked with chkconfig --list | grep cloud, it's enabled.

    # chkconfig --list | grep cloud
cloud-config    0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
cloud-final     0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
cloud-init      0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
cloud-init-local    0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

Any idea what might went wrong? I'm out of ideas!
