How to use cloudbase-init for windows azure instance

edit

Hello, Here is an example configuration for Cloudbase-Init for Azure: https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-openstack-imaging-tools/tree/master/Examples/config/azure Azure already provides the option to set a password for a custom user when you create the VM. Cloudbase-Init will set the password.

Thanks for the answer. I want to use Cloudbase-Init feature where it sets random password using inject_user_password = false. In my case, it sets the password but I don't know how to retrieve that password. Also, couuld you please answer my initial question related to running batch file?

On the password issue, Azure does not have an API where cloudbase-init can post the password (like OpenStack does, for example). You can only use the feature that Azure provides you: creating a user with a password when you create the instance.

Running commands is currently supported for the beta version of cloudbase-init. Please check https://cloudbase-init.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userdata.html#cloud-config for the supported cloud-config features.

I tried using runcmd as suggested in the above doc. But, it comes as as unsupported command. I am using cloudbase-init beta version only. I am using this command: runcmd: - 'C:\\myBatchFile.bat'
