[Bug 1374115] Re: Allow cloud-config to modify partitioning and mount point of temporary resource disk in Azure

[trialotto]

@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?

Kind regards.....
