We abuse the AWS::AutoScaling::LaunchConfiguration to achieve this
with TripleO. You can refer to all of the other parts of the stack in
the Metadata section, and it will be the last thing created. Then you
have to use cfn-hup or os-collect-config to query the Metadata of that
resource post-boot.

Thanks Clint. I will check cfn-hup and os-collect-config.
