@Andy,

1) does AWS instances allows gzipped user-data? I think - no. It defines user data as "you must provide base64-encoded text."

2) does nova itself allows to pass gzipped user-data? I also think - no.

3) does AWS protocol allows gzipped data?
4) Is it possible to pass gzipped data via CLI/UI?

ec2 must be compatible with AWS protocol but it allows some extensions due to OpenStack nature.
In this case I suggest that this feature can't be implemented.
