Public bug reported:

Environment : RHEL 7.5 on Azure, using cloud-init 18.2 rebase with these
patches: https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init/commit/?id=aa4eeb80

Scenario:
I provision an image with the above on Azure, in addition, i apply this cloud-init config:
#cloud-config
disk_setup:
    ephemeral0:
        table_type: gpt
        layout: [66, [33, 82]]
        overwrite: True
fs_setup:
    - device: ephemeral0.1
      filesystem: ext4
    - device: ephemeral0.2
      filesystem: swap
mounts:
    - ["ephemeral0.1", "/mnt"]
    - ["ephemeral0.2", "none", "swap", "sw", "0", "0"]

The VM provisions successfully, you see /sdb1 gets mounted and the swap
file config succeeds.

If i deallocate the VM and start it, /sdb1 does not get mounted, you see
the errors below.

Running multiple deallocates and starts does not see the system resolve
itself.

I check fstab:
UUID=6e4681f0-1ec3-4c27-9c16-afb90a4c4513 /                       xfs     defaults        0 0
UUID=f2116236-4be6-4b72-b107-c2d7a68688c4 /boot                   xfs     defaults        0 0
/dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource-part1    /mnt    auto    defaults,nofail,x-systemd.requires=cloud-init.service,comment=cloudconfig       0       2
/dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource-part2    none    swap    sw,comment=cloudconfig  0       0

As a test, i changed the FSTAB entry for the swap to add a dependency on cloud-init:
/dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource-part2    none    swap    sw,nofail,x-systemd.requires=cloud-init.service,comment=cloudconfig     0       0

I deallocated and started the VM, sdb mounts correctly, but the FSTAB is
overwritten for swap with the  previous config. I modified the FSTAB
again, with the addition, then rebooted, again, everything works.

Does azure_resource-part2 need a dependency like azure_resource-part1?

You can also test this using the existing Azure cloud-init preview images (cloud-init 0.7.9.x)
az vm create 
--resource-group rgName 
--name vmName 
--image RedHat:RHEL:7-RAW-CI:latest  
--admin-username anotherusr 
--custom-data /../swapconfig.txt 
--ssh-key-value /.../my.pub 

az vm deallocate --resource-group rgName --name vmName
az vm start --resource-group rgName --name vmName
