Public bug reported:

This is just a small unimportant bug in documentation that's driving me
up the wall.

#instance-metadata

"What is a instance data"

Should be "What is an instance data," or more preferably "What is
instance data." Words that begin with a vowel sound (A, E, I, O, U, and
sometimes Y and W) are preceded by "an" when given a singular
definitive.

Sorry for the pedantry, I'm a technical writer and this just rubbed me
the wrong way for some reason.
