Description of problem:
I am responsible for testing Windows Azure Linux Agent(WALA) with RHEL on Azure.And recently we found that cloud-init has some side effects on WALA.

cloud-init dhclient-hook script(/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/cloud-init-azure-hook) will always run on booting though cloud-init-local,cloud-init,cloud-config,cloud-final,these 4 services are disabled on booting.And inside the dhclient-hook script,it invoke "exec cloud-init dhclient-hook up "$1"".And this will affect WALA.

In my opinion,the dhclient-hook script should invoke cloud-init when we need rather than always invoke cloud-init.That is to say,when cloud-init-local,cloud-init,cloud-config,cloud-final are disabled,dhclient-hook script shouldn't invoke cloud-init.And when 4 services are enabled,dhclient-hook script should do.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
WALinuxAgent-2.2.14-1
cloud-init-0.7.9-9

RHEL Version:
RHEL-7.4

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install cloud-init package in VM, disable related services:
# systemctl disable cloud-{init-local,init,config,final}
2. Deprovision the VM and use this os disk to create a new VM
3. Check VM status


Actual results:
cloud-init dhclient-hook script invoked cloud-init running,and caused WALA Provision failed.

Expected results:
