Box1: When you create a VM, certificates and keys are stored in the protected /var/lib/waagent/ directory. To automate adding the certificate to the VM and configuring the web server, use cloud-init. Ref: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/tutorial-secure-web-server

Box 1: Unattend.xml In preparation to deploy shielded VMs, you may need to create an operating system specialization answer file. On Windows, this is commonly known as the "unattend.xml" file. The New-ShieldingDataAnswerFile Windows PowerShell function helps you do this. Starting with Windows Server version 1709, you can run certain Linux guest OSes in shielded VMs. If you are using the System Center Virtual Machine Manager Linux agent to specialize those VMs, the New-ShieldingDataAnswerFile cmdlet can create compatible answer files for it. Box 2: The Azure Portal You can use the Azure portal to deploy a Linux virtual machine (VM) in Azure that runs Ubuntu.

yes you can use unattend, but clout-init works best for linux in this case.
