ISO file as user-data

Hi Team,

I'm trying to understand if it is possible to pass an ISO file as user-data
or config-drive while creating an instance.

Ex.,
*openstack server create --image <my image> --flavor <my flavor>
--user-data /path/to/myiso.iso --network <my network> --config-drive true
<instance name>*

Basically we need to mount & get the files in our ISO that is passed to the
VM instance for initial configuration.

When trying the above OpenStack CLI command with ISO as user-data, below
error is thrown (where as plain text file works),

*'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xbb in position 32848: invalid start byte*

Regards,
Srini
