Public bug reported:

I am currently experiencing an issue when I use the write_files module
to write a test file.  I specify permissions, however when cloud-init
runs it sets the permissions incorrectly.

Details:
- CentOS 7.8.2003(Core)
- cloud-init-18.5-6.el7.centos.x86_64
- vRealize Automation 8.1 (Cloud Assembly)

Cloud Config:
#cloud-config
write_files:
  - permissions: "0666"
    content: "This is a test"
    owner: centos:wheel
    path: /root/test.txt

End Result:
[root@deleteme ~]# ll

-rwxr--r-- 1 root   root  1119 Jun 19 09:03 linux_prep.sh
--w--wx-wT 1 centos wheel   14 Jun 19 11:23 test.txt

[root@deleteme ~]# cat test.txt 
This is a test
