Yes.
But this isn't really any news, MS has provided custom canonical distributions for Azure deployment for years, and the image MS already provides as their recommenced/default distribution for azure VMs already contains several telemetry and remote management daemons, to facilitate better integration with Azure monitoring. The image is also configured to trust ms' own apt repo source.
The code for the telemetry daemon is even open source on github.

There has been a few bugs in these daemons, most significant is the bug which starts shell scripts which doesn't terminate, i.e. the server becomes super slow after a few days due to thousands of running processes. Google on "OMSConsistencyInvoker".
