gistfile1.txt

#!/bin/bash

# For latest cloud init source see
# http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/4026240853893296

# Download archive
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/cloudformation-examples/aws-cfn-bootstrap-1.0-6.zip

# Unzip archive 
unzip aws-cfn-*.zip

# Run python setup.py
cd aws-cfn* && python setup.py install

AWS now has a smarter link, so you'll always download the latest version of cfn tools without having to change the script:
