Public bug reported:

I have a use-case where I need to query the metadata that was passed on
creating the instance and use those values as variables in my cloud-
config.

However, ds.meta_data.instance_data is a string, hence making it not
query-able from cloud-config. Just removing the enclosing quotes and the
escaping around the quotes within the actual dictionary itself makes the
instance_data field easily query-able.

Please consider making the instance_data field a query-able field?

Environment Information :
Operating System : Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Cloud Init : 19.1-1-gbaa47854-0ubuntu1~18.04.1
