      The addition of a new top-level fact, cloud, intended for discovering whether a node is running on a given public cloud provider. In this first release this currently detects whether a linux-based node is running in Azure, and provides that information in the cloud.provider fact.

      No other cloud providers are currently detected.

      "cloud": {
          "provider": "azure"
