Question

Can I use a bootstrap script to further configure the cluster?

Answer

Instance bootstrap scripts are executed on all the cluster instances immediately after startup before any services are configured and started. You can use it to install additional OS packages or add application dependencies (e.g. copy a jar to the cluster, etc). This is not intended to be a mechanism for cluster configuration.
