CloudEOS and vEOS Router Startup-Configuration using Instance Custom-Data
Describes launch employing custom-data information.
During the initial launching of the CloudEOS and vEOS Router Instance, Azure provides a feature to upload
custom-data. The administrator can upload the CloudEOS and vEOS Router configuration using custom-data
at the time of the launching of the CloudEOS and vEOS Router Instance.
Custom-data can be used to pass in configuration for multiple entities. This configuration must be separated by
start and end markers.

Note, the following regarding the custom-data.
• Markers must be at the beginning of the line.
• The user is expected to have tested the configurations on a live system before using the configurations to deploy
the new CloudEOS and vEOS Router. Mis-configuration may result in an unrecoverable instance.
• The CloudEOS and vEOS Router configuration for all interfaces can be passed in during deployment. The
configuration takes effect as the new instances attach to the CloudEOS and vEOS Router.

Providing Startup-Configuration using Azure Custom-Data
Adding custom-data to an instance.
Currently, custom-data can only be used on instances deployed using the Azure CLI 2.0.
In order to add custom-data to an instance, the custom-data must be provided as a single-line value with '\n'
delimiting newlines.
