Answer

You can do this with Conditions in the template, then test this condition and choose between defining the UserData property with the MySQL or MariaDB install.  Something like this:

```
Conditions:
  CreateProdResources: !Equals [!Ref Environment, "prod"]
```
Then:

```
UserData: !If [CreateProdResources, !Base64 |
#!/bin/bash
# Install MySQL on production instances
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install mysql-server -y
sudo systemctl restart mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql, !Base64 |
# Install MariaDB on development instances
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y
sudo systemctl enable mariadb]
```
