cloud-init collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services. Telemetry is only collected during the provisioning process (first boot of the VM). The data collected helps us investigate provisioning failures and monitor performance and reliability. Data collected doesn't include any identifiers (personal identifiers). Read our [privacy statement](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839) to learn more. Some examples of telemetry being collected are (this isn't an exhaustive list): OS-related information (cloud-init version, distro version, kernel version), performance metrics of essential VM provisioning actions (time to obtain DHCP lease, time to retrieve metadata necessary to configure the VM, etc.), cloud-init log, and dmesg log.
