# Description:  Generic EC2 User-Data File 
# Purpose:      Shim script to pull bootstrap script for the server based on the
#               Role + Environment tags stored against the EC2 Instance
#
#               Tags Used: 
#                 - Environment  = Runtime Environment for this server (live/staging/preview)
#                 - Role         = The role for this particular server 
#                                  (e.g. webserver, database, imaging)
