Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to run custom Python startup scripts when provisioning a VM via the python SDK.
I've been working closely with the Azure VM support team to create a provision_vm.py script that will auto create Azure VMs. Previously, I used GCP to do so and I was able to add a startup script to be run each time a VM is provisioned. It seems Azure does not have this functionality, and this was confirmed by the Azure support team. They suggested I create an issue here.

I was directed to create an issue from azure-sdk-for-python. You can find that issue here.
Describe the solution you'd like
Documentation on GCP startup scripts. It would be nice to have this option in Azure.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Staying with GCP because they have this functionality.
