      Typically EC2 instances are provisioned automatically with Cloud-init or another technologies like Chef.

      How do you automate the provisioning of a pfSense instance in AWS?

      Reading the documentation on Launching an pfSense instance on AWS[1], it mentions the usage of the User data field is for setting the password and mgmtnet, for a custom administrator password and a restricted network respectively.

      So I suspect it is limited only for that. Or could I use it for writing a cloud-init script there?
