In this example we will create empty ``network-config`` and ``meta-data``
files, and create a ``user-data`` file with a basic cloud-init configuration.

If you have network configuration or metadata to provide, edit the
``network-config`` and ``meta-data`` files accordingly.

To create the files, run the following commands:

.. code-block:: shell-session

    $ touch network-config
    $ touch meta-data
    $ cat >user-data <<EOF
    #cloud-config
    password: password
    chpasswd:
      expire: False
    ssh_pwauth: True
    EOF
