[Bug 1469260] Re: Custom vendor data causes cloud-init failure on 0.7.5

[Felipe Reyes]

A vendor data file should be a dict with a cloud-init key and the value
for that key is expected to be a string or a list[0], the docs provide a
simple example[1]

Here is another example that will add a user called cloudy, upgrade the
system and install htop:

{"cloud-init": "#cloud-config\nusers:\n - name: cloudy\n   ssh-import-
id: cloudy\npackage_upgrade: True\npackages:\n - htop"}

So a yaml cloud-config compatible has to be passed a string.
