- For the short term, if we need to include an agent we will bake it into the image. We will not have any specific
mechanism for including agents.

### Azure:

Originally discussed in [#65](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/65).

- We've identified one major gap with not shipping the [Microsoft Azure Linux Agent](https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent): the machine will not check-in and will eventually be culled by Azure for being stuck in the creation process.
- This gap will be temporarily worked around via a [systemd unit](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/65#issuecomment-434449560) which will perform the check-in.
- Long term this gap will be covered by work done in [coreos-metadata](https://github.com/coreos/coreos-metadata#120).
- One additional gap which will not be covered is a lack of ephemeral disk support. We plan to ship udev rules but will not have a service which formats the disk unless we receive feature requests in the future.

### Open questions:

- What do we do about VMware, which has a very involved and intrusive "agent"?
