Hello Eduardo,
is there a plan to add the dhcp-client dependency to cloud-init? We (the Image Builder team) think that this is the best option. If this is a problem for you, we need to know it sooner rather than later so we can change the image definition for Azure images in 9.0 Beta.
Thanks,
Ondřej
