Hello Bent, Thanks for your bugzilla report. Support for cloud-init provisioning on Azure was recently announced for RHEL 7.6 and later: (https://access.redhat.com/articles/2758981#is-cloud-init-supported-for-provisioning-virtual-machines-in-azure-17). Only WALinuxAgent provisioning was supported prior to this. Microsoft should be providing on-demand RHEL images with cloud-init in the near future. If you want to bring your own RHEL subscription to Azure using Cloud-Access, here is Microsoft's instructions for doing that: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/cloudinit-prepare-custom-image
