In Terraform

create a data resource containing the files in order, one per part:

# https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/cloudinit/latest/docs
# https://github.com/chrusty/terraform-multipart-userdata/blob/master/example/cloudinit.tf
data "cloudinit_config" "vm" {
  gzip = true
  base64_encode = true

  part {
    content      = file("files/first.yaml")
    content_type = "text/cloud-config"
  }
  …
  part {
    content      = file("files/n-th.yaml")
    content_type = "text/cloud-config"
    filename     = "n-th.yaml"
    merge_type   = "dict(recurse_array,no_replace)+list(append)"
  }
}

give its rendered form as input to a vm's userdata attribute or an output resource:

resource "azurerm_linux_virtual_machine" "vm" {
  user_data = data.cloudinit_config.vm.rendered
  …
}

output "cloudinit_config" {
  value = data.cloudinit_config.vm.rendered
}
