Setup
-----
2014-04-07 14:23:24 +02:00
``qemu-utils`` is needed to create the VHD image.
2014-04-07 14:23:24 +02:00
``wget`` must be installed on local computer, so the Windows Azure Linux Agent
can be downloaded.

Do not create swap space on the OS disk:
The Windows Azure Linux Agent can automatically configure swap space
using the local resource disk that is attached to the VM after
provisioning on Azure. Modify the following parameters in
/etc/waagent.conf appropriately:
::
2014-04-07 14:23:24 +02:00
ResourceDisk.Format=y
ResourceDisk.Filesystem=ext4
ResourceDisk.MountPoint=/mnt/resource
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=2048 ## NOTE: set this to whatever you need it to be.
You can specify a waagent.conf file to replace the default one in the
manifest in the azure/waagent section of the provider:
::
2014-04-07 14:23:24 +02:00
"system" : {
"waagent" : {
"conf": "path_to_my_conf_file", # optional
"version" : "2.0.4" # mandatory
}
}, ...
Waagent versions are available at:
