user data

user_data (optional) user data to provide when launching the instance, such as shell scripts.

  user_data                   = templatefile("${path.module}/assets/your_instance_data.tftpl", {})

 user_data = templatefile("${path.module}/path/yourfile.tftpl", {
   ecs_cluster            = aws_ecs_cluster.your_cluster.name
   ecs_instance_attribute = var.ecs_instance_attribute
 })

Important notes:

• Updates to this field will trigger a stop/start of the EC2 instance by default.
• Do not pass gzip-compressed data via this argument; see user_data_base64 instead.
• If the user_data_replace_on_change is set then updates to this field will trigger a destroy and recreate
