Thanks for the feedback.

Pending a fixed image, if you have guestfish installed I think you can 
enable the waagent.service with:

$ guestfish -a ./CentOS-7-x86_64-Azure-1705.qcow2 -i ln-sf 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/waagent.service 
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/waagent.service

After that waagent.service seems enabled judging from a quick check with 
guestfish but I haven't actually booted the image:

 ><fs> ls /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/
NetworkManager.service
auditd.service
chronyd.service
crond.service
irqbalance.service
kdump.service
nfs-client.target
postfix.service
remote-fs.target
rsyslog.service
sshd.service
tuned.service
waagent.service

HTH,
Patrick
