Why do we use User Data?

We use User Data to fully automate the configuration of an EC2 instance the moment it boots up, eliminating the need for manual setup.
Instead of launching a generic operating system and manually logging in via SSH or RDP to install tools, User Data handles everything automatically behind the scenes.
