if user data is of type text/cloud-boothook, or begins with #cloud-boothook, then assume it to be code to be executed. Boothooks are a very simple format. Basically, its a one line header ('#cloud-config\n') and then executable payload. The executable payload is written to a file, then that file is executed at the time it is read. The file is left in /var/lib/cloud/data/boothooks There is no "first-time-only" protection. If running only once is desired, the boothook must handle that itself.
