Terraform copies but (cloud-init) doesn't run user_data script on Bitnami EC2 instance-CodePudding

I'm trying to have Terraform run my bash script after deploying my Bitnami EC2 instance (AMI: ami-0f185ef928bf37528). I can find the file at /var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts/part-001 but it isn't being run.

My desired script is a little more complicated but even this isn't being run:

#!/bin/sh
set -x
echo "Hello World.  The time is now $(date -R)!" | tee /root/output.txt
mkdir /opt/bitnami/projects
exit

main.tf contains

resource "aws_instance" "app_server" {
  ami             = "ami-0f185ef928bf37528"
  instance_type   = "t2.micro"
  key_name        = "app_server"
  security_groups = [aws_security_group.ec2_sg.name]
  user_data       = file("init.sh")
}

I'm not seeing any obvious issues or indicators in /var/log/cloud-init-output.log and /var/log/cloud-init.log

I tried to replicate your issue, but your code works perfectly:

Thus its possible that your real code that you are using is different then in the question.
