User data is not base64 encoded

["Yacubovich, David" <dy...@collegeboard.org>]

Hello All,
I am trying to test the use of userdata on CS 4.6. I am creating new instance from the UI and I paste the base64 encoded string into the userdata box. But I get this error every time. I can't find any examples of how to use userdata online. Can someone please give me an example of how this should work?

Here is m example:

# echo "env: poclab 
container: tomcat" | base64
ZW52OiBwb2NsYWIKY29udGFpbmVyOiB0b21jYXQK

And I paste this string into userdata box.

Thanks,
David

David,

I can't speak to the GUI userdata, as I've never used it from the GUI. Have you tried using CloudMonkey?

Here's some info related to userdata:
