Document the configuration REST API

See original GitHub issue

According the readme:

A TCP endpoint exposing a REST API used to obtain deployment and topology configuration.

Is this REST API documented anywhere?

@szarkos That code relies on the waagent script to actually interact with the metadata service. This means that if you have a standard guest image (like, say, one of these), it won’t work unless it already has the WALinuxAgent package installed. If cloud-init were able to talk to the metadata service natively without requiring the waagent, then generic “cloud” images like this would Just Work.

Besides, if you’re going to say “A TCP endpoint exposing a REST API used to obtain deployment and topology configuration.” it seems you should document that as well.

@larsks it is golden, thanks. since it was an internal API, it did not get much attention. thanks for documenting it, perhaps you can add an appendix section in the 2.1/README as an unofficial guide. Closing this issue.
