That’s still better than MS SCVMM which installs an agent which craps a brick, takes out your VM network and then there’s zero support other than an abandoned GitHub repo.

They could have supported cloud-init but went for the usual not invented here approach which was a shit show.

If you want first class Linux support look elsewhere. Anywhere else!!!

Been using cloud-init on Azure Linux VMs for a long time (5+ yrs). Did you experience this on a specific distro?

This was SCVMM on premises hyperv infrastructure not azure.
