Cloud config is not working at all from the command line with APIv2 on Ubuntu 18.04. Anyone experience this? Even this simple script doesn’t work:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MY_TOKEN" -d '{
        "name": "myserver", 
        "region": "sfo2", 
        "size": "s-1vcpu-1gb", 
        "image": "ubuntu-18-04-x64",
        "ssh_keys": ["XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"],
        "user_data": "#cloud-config 
            write_files:
              - content |
                  This is a test file
                path: /etc/cloud-config-test
                permissions: '0600'
                owner: root:root"
}' "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

At first glance, examining /var/log/cloud-init.log, and /var/log/cloud-init-output.log, reveals nothing about the ‘user-data:#cloud-config’ entry in my APIv2 POST. Due to their size I left them out. I would be happy to share them if needed.

Thanks
