The Azure datasource has some hardcoded defaults for ephemeral disk mounting that can be overridden with cloud-config from userdata. However, we also need the ability to override the defaults for other distros/images, e.g. to mount on /mnt/resource by default (possibly overridden by userdata).
The proper way to provide defaults for an image would be to drop files in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/. However, since datasource config overrides local configuration, the local configuration is always ignored.
A possible solution might be a datasource config value that decides whether or not to add default configuration when the datasource loads.
