Bug Description

SRU justification

Impact : Microsoft has released an update to the 2.0.x series for WALinuxagent. There are several notable fixes:
  - reporting of SSH host keys for Ubuntu to the fabric
  - fix for extension timeout handling
  - multiple fixes for extension handler in status report and heartbeat

Fix : Updating to v2.0.8 fixes these bugs.

Test Case :
* First boot
   - build new images from -proposed
   - confirm that instance boots
   - run against extension
   - confirm that portal captures SSH host keys
* Capture (VM Snapshot)
   - boot instance on Azure
   - upgrade from -proposed
   - shut instances down
   - capture instance
   - boot capture instance
   - confirm that portal capture SSH host keys
   - confirm instance has new identity
   - check /var/log/{cloud-init,waagent}.log for errors

Regression : regression potential is low, as these changes tighten up the code and fix a broken feature.

[ORIGINAL REPORT]

We have tagged a new release for WALinuxAgent (2.0.7): https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/releases/tag/WALinuxAgent-2.0.7. Ubuntu's walinuxagent package is currently based on 2.0.5, so there are several fixes in 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 that are important to pick up.

Specifically, there are a number of fixes for extension handling, provisioning and the new feature for adding a "readme" warning to the resource disk. For 12.04, here are the relevant fixes to look at.

Delaying this work until v2.0.8 is released. However, if 2.0.8 is going to be a while, I think that it would be prudent to land 2.0.7 in 14.10.
