I've been comparing DO and Linode, and quickly finding out that Linode is missing things that are super handy for automated infrastructure building like a metadata service and userdata required for cloudinit. Does vultr offer such options?
EDIT: Got to a desktop machine and poked around their site for a few minutes, they appear to offer metadata support (https://www.vultr.com/metadata/ https://www.vultr.com/metadata/) but I don't see anything for user data, which is unfortunate and seems really easy to add.
EDIT2: I can't find specific documentation on how to access the user data but they have a page on cloud-init which makes reference to such an option (https://www.vultr.com/docs/getting-started-with-cloud-init https://www.vultr.com/docs/getting-started-with-cloud-init)
