@Stephen, I think you know why I stated that the ResourceDisk.Format variable is a remarkable explanation for specific behaviour of waagent.
It must also be clear why I (also) stated that some parts of the waagent script are rather obsolete or unnecessary. A huge part of the waagent script can be discarded when allowing cloud- init to do the work, including those parts of the waagent script that are aiming on specific distro´s, since cloud-init also takes care of distro-specific code. However, allowing cloud-init do to all the work, will only become a huge advantage if 1 - the corresponding (Azure) Datasource can be written to, AND/OR 2 - waagent.conf is designed to be an addition (i.e. customizable extension) to a (for security reasons non-writeable) Datasource, with Datasource referring to the file used by cloud-init. Is option 2 achievable? And how can I test that? Finally, note that the introduction of cloud-init version 0.7.6 in the Ubuntu images would be desirable: this version of cloud-init works fine in Trusty (14.04.1 LTS) and also has the option to create swap with (advanced) cloud-config settings. Can this new cloud-init version be introduced?
