Bug description:
=== Begin SRU Template ===
[Impact]
Azure identifies itself to guests by setting a well known value in the
chassis asset field of dmi data. This is done both in Azure public cloud and
in Azure Stack (the on-premise variant of Azure).
By checking for this value cloud-init can more quickly identify
whether or not it is running on Azure.
[Test Case]
- Launch an instance, enable proposed, upgrade.
- Clean instance and re-boot
$ rm -Rf /var/lib/cloud /var/log/cloud-init*
$ rm -f /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/91_walinuxagent.cfg # bug 1700769
$ reboot
- ssh back in look around
- confirm 'WARN' does not appear in /var/log/cloud-init*
- look in /run/cloud-init/ds-identify.log. It should say:
Found single datasource: Azure
- reboot, ssh back in and verify all still good.
[Regression Potential]
Instances running in Azure or Azure Stack that did *not* have this value
would not be identified as Azure. We have been told by representatives
from Microsoft that that will not be the case.

=== End SRU Template ===
I've got confirmation that the chassis_asset_tag DMI value is a hard-
coded identifier for the Azure platform (both Azure and Azure Stack
(the on-premise variant of Azure)).
$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_asset_tag
7783-7084-3265-9085-8269-3286-77
The detection logic in both ds-identify and Azure ds should be updated
to use this value.
