Bug Description

CloudFormation introduced per resource metadata allowing configuration data to be passed from templates. This is currently implemented by Amazon's cfn-init tool and would be beneficial with cloudinit as well.

Pros:
metadata can be modified
it allows using one user_data file for all stack machines

Could you please provide some information on what you'd like to see?
I'm really not familiar with CloudFormation enough to know what would be good.

It'd be nice to see a list/documentatoin of what we want to accomplish.
