Include a new set of docs that can be used to create a readthedocs.org site, which includes examples, directory layout, capabilities and such. This in-code documentation then allows for readthedocs.org to create a website directly from the cloud-init codebase.

User configurability
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
`Cloud-init`_ 's behavior can be configured via user-data.
|
|
|
|
User-data can be given by the user at instance launch time.
|
|
|
|
This is done via the ``--user-data`` or ``--user-data-file`` argument to ec2-run-instances for example.
|
|
|
|
* Check your local clients documentation for how to provide a `user-data` string
|
|
or `user-data` file for usage by cloud-init on instance creation.
