No, this is not a new hybrid cloud strategy ;-)
On customer Windows machines which include the Microsoft Monitoring Agent, the cloud.rb Ohai plugin crashes and thus does not provide data. Reason is, that the azure.rb plugin checks for an existing C:\WindowsAzure directory instead of directly going to metadata. The Microsoft Monitoring Agent, which is independent of Azure, seems to sometimes place install logs there.
As subsequently the cloud.rb plugin tries to access metadata attributes with metadata being nil and crashes silently, the cloud Mash never gets populated.
