cloud-init overview
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azur...

cloud-init is a widely used approach to customize a Linux VM as it boots for the first time. You can use cloud-init to install packages and write files, or to configure users and security. Because cloud-init is called during the initial boot process, there are no additional steps or required agents to apply your configuration. For more information on how to properly format your #cloud-config files or other inputs, see the cloud-init documentation site. #cloud-config files are text files encoded in base64.

cloud-init also works across distributions. For example, you don't use apt-get install or yum install to install a package. Instead you can define a list of packages to install. cloud-init automatically uses the native package management tool for the distro you select.
