Title:
  cloud-init should check/format Azure empheral disks each boot

Status in Init scripts for use on cloud images:
  Fix Committed
Status in “cloud-init” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  On Windows Azure, the ephemeral disk should be treated as ephemeral
  per boot, not per instance.

  Microsoft has informed us that under the following conditions an ephemeral disk may disappear:
  1. The user resizes the instance
  2. A fault causes the instance to move from one physical host to another
  3. A machine is shutdown and then started again

  Essentially, on Azure, the ephemeral disk is extremely ephemeral.
  Users who hit any of the above situations are discovering that /mnt is
  mount with their default NTFS file system.
