Provide User Data to an IDrive® Compute  Instance at the Bootup

User data is arbitrary data that you may provide at the time of creating an instance. The user data will be consumed via Cloud-Init during the first boot of the instance for its configuration. 
All the Linux distributions supported by IDrive® Compute have Cloud-Init service enabled. However, at present only the Cloud-config format is supported.
