Additional Info: 1. No functional impact is observed. 2. The root cause might be this: i). Only if the /var/lib/waagent/current_version file exists and the content is equal to the current wala version, the unexpectedly restart is touched off. ii). When the waagent service is stopping, waagent removes the current_version file. When the waagent service is starting, waagent create the current_version file. iii). Capture clone the OS disk when the VM is running, so the current_version is not removed. When a new VM is created base on this OS disk, the current_version file is already there and the content is equal to the current wala version.
