I want to configure an AWS Launch Config resource to use a local user-data file from the repo. And I set that up okay 
using file(), but variables had to be hard-coded for each stack.  There was no interpolation.  That's fine if each stack 
has their own launch config, but what I'd really like to do is re-use one user-data file for a couple different stacks 
and feed in variables to differentiate between each.

I created a template resource and file and fed in variables, but I'm getting a weird error. Is this the correct approach?
