Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
This feature allows user_data to be passed to Compute (nova) in cloud-init free form. This allows users to pass user_data free form rather than with alterations. As a result, user data is unaltered by Orchestration (heat).

Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 21:19:34 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/raw-user-data.

Description:

Although heat's agent tooling is heavily dependent on cloud-init, some users will want to orchestrate servers that are not cloud-init enabled. They may use their own agent, or a user_data which is executed as a script on boot.

OS::Nova::Server should optionally allow this by adding the property 'user_data_format' with the available options 'CLOUD_INIT' or 'RAW'
