Summary

  • add the Azure Linux 4.0 Marketplace Gen2 FIPS UEFI image
  • support x86_64 and aarch64 with FIPS enabled
  • use cloud-init and systemd-networkd without netplan or config.sh
  • include WALinuxAgent and Azure Marketplace guest configuration

Testing

  • built for arm64
  • deployed as a Generation2 azure VM
  • verified provisioning, networking, guest agent, sshd. SSH access runs into fips issues independent of this change but the connection attempt does reach server.

AB#22820

Add Azure Linux 4.0 marketplace Gen2 FIPS image definition with:
- UEFI boot, VHD-fixed format, 5GB disk
- x86_64 and aarch64 architecture support
- FIPS mode enabled via kernel cmdline and dracut-fips
- cloud-init + systemd-networkd networking (no netplan)
- WALinuxAgent for Azure provisioning
- Custom cloud-init.cfg with azl_user default account

There is no config.sh because post-install customization is not needed.

Remove netplan package to avoid NetworkManager conflict with
systemd-networkd.
