Azure-docs: Run an actual .sh file
It would be nice to see the documentation to run a full .sh file on the machine instead of putting the commands in string format of the json.

@amittleider - I will work on having a sample published.
In the interim, the Custom Script Extension overview doc has a sample that completes what you are asking for.
Does this help?
Thanks

Yes. The sample online right now works, but the custom script source line
of my file is not readable. In a normal .sh file it would be about 20 lines.
Thanks for your quick response.

When I say that the source is not readable, I mean that I have a script that is roughly 40 lines, and writing the entire thing in the text body is not really a great solution.
Giving the script URL as you proposed is great. However, it has inspired me to another solution -- to simply base64 encode the script as JSON, and execute it on the other side. You can find the example here: https://github.com/amittleider/azure-vm-with-custom-script
Kind regards,
