In Terraform, the "user_data" block is used to specify data that should be passed to the instance at launch time. This data is typically used to configure the instance or run scripts on startup.
The user_data is passed to the instance as part of the launch configuration, and it is executed by the instance at launch. This can include things like installing software, configuring settings, or running scripts that need to be executed when the instance is first launched.
It can be added to a resource configuration, such as an "aws_instance" resource, and can contain either a string of data or a reference to a file containing the data.
