Bug description:
  [Impact]
  5% of all instance launches are affected by not having these changes backported into Ubuntu series.
  The version fixing this is tag 1.3 Windows Azure Linux Agent:
  * https://github.com/Windows-Azure/WALinuxAgent/tags
  Fixes error checking and robustness to the DVD mounting procedure as well as other fixes.
  * https://code.launchpad.net/~utlemming/ubuntu/raring/walinuxagent/v1.3

  [Test Case]
  Boot enough instances to get at least one of them fail.

  [Regression potential]
  During our testing we were unable to reproduce the problem both with the old version and the new version. But, we can trust the upstream who is the author of the patches since this changes might impact an app that is used only within upstream's service.

  
  Original report:

  Hello!

  We have tagged version 1.3 of the Windows Azure Linux Agent.  Please
  pull the new agent source or download directly from the following
  location:

          https://github.com/Windows-Azure/WALinuxAgent/tags

  The important change in this release adds some error checking and
  robustness to our DVD mounting procedure, as well as a few minor
  bugfixes.
