Users of the Puppet Azure module do not have parity with the Puppet AWS module. They are forced to download a separate forge module to get this functionality.

Description
Microsoft has made instance level metadata available in a similar (but more limited) fashion as AWS.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/what-just-happened-to-my-vm-in-vm-metadata-service/
Instance metadata of AWS EC2 instances is already available: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/1.7/core_facts.html#ec2ec2-instance-data
Could this now be extended under Microsoft Azure? Instance meta data is published at the following URL for all Azure instances (Cloud Services Web/Worker roles and Azure VMs):
http://169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/maintenance (for maintenance related data)
http://169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/InstanceInfo (for instance information)
