Hi Daniel,

Thanks for doing this, looks great so far! I do have a couple recommendations:

In case customers are not familiar with the term "Custom Data" or how to use it, I would recommend linking to our documentation:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-how-to-inject-custom-data/
http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/04/21/custom-data-and-cloud-init-on-windows-azure/

While passing a cloud-config via CustomData will work great during the initial setup and provisioning of the machine, is there a workflow that could allow a customer to configure a local cloud-config to configure swap space post-provisioning? This is feasible for those distributions that just use the Azure Linux agent, so preferably there is a way to do this on Ubuntu as well.

Thanks!
Steve
