If cloud-init config meets your needs then you should consider using it.
However keep in mind that cloud-init is boot-only configuration. This
means that any change to cloud-init config during a stack update will
result in your server resources being replaced with servers containing
the new cloud-init boot configuration.

If this behavior is not what you require then you should consider using
SoftwareConfig/SoftwareDeployment resources instead.
