Cant view downloaded file in cloudformation

Im trying to download a file using wget using Cloudformation. However, I dont see the file in the directory I downloaded it to ( /home/ubuntu/). Ive also tried different things like creating directories in /home/ubuntu but I also dont see the created directory

The following is the portition of the cloudformation code I am having trouble with. Lets assume that I am calling these commands correctly with cfn-init. I see the user data execute the cfn-init command but I dont see the files.

I wget the file and put it into /home/ubuntu/odbc_connector.tar.gz. When I go onto the server I do not find the file.

Instance:
        Type: AWS::EC2::Instance
        Metadata:
          AWS::CloudFormation::Init:
            configSets:
              Instance_install:
                # Install ODBC connector / pyodbc
                - setup_pyodbc
            setup_pyodbc:
              commands:
                # Install ODBC connector
                download_connector:
                    command: wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-ODBC/8.0/mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.19-linux-ubuntu18.04-x86-64bit.tar.gz -O /home/ubuntu/odbc_connector.tar.gz

Your wget command should be:

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-ODBC/8.0/mysql-connector-odbc-8.0.19-linux-ubuntu18.04-x86-64bit.tar.gz  -O /home/ubuntu/odbc_connector.tar.gz

There may be other issues, that fail in your template, but you should still correct your wget command.

You can use the below command to debug the issue. You'll have to go into the instance =>

cat /var/log/cloud-init-output.log - to check cf error
cat /var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts/part-001 - to view script

The cloud-init-output.log should tell you why the command didn't run
