walinuxagent not found on Centos when cloud-init is started

[Antoine ROUAZE]

Hello,

I'm trying to use cloud-init on Centos and Azure, but the the Azure agent has a different name (waagent instead of walinuxagent) from Ubuntu and it is hardcoded in the source code. Do you plan to make a condition for RHEL distro ?

Here is the python stack :

May 24 14:22:50 test cloud-init: 2016-05-24 14:22:50,899 - util.py[DEBUG]: agent command '['service', 'walinuxagent', 'start']' failed.

Thanks.
