Anders Ingemann 03a0746299 Convert every JSON file to YAML Lines removed: over 500. Readiblity gained: A shitload Now you can actually get an overview of a manifest on a single screen height. I am sure that it will also save a lot of hassle when modifying schema in the future. No more "expected property name" etc. because of an extraneous comma Comments are of course natively support, so there's no need for this minify_json hokey pokey		2014-07-09 23:17:04 +02:00

Azure provider

This provider generates raw images for Microsoft Azure computing platform.

Setup

qemu-img >= 1.7.0 required to convert raw image to vhd fixed size disk. This release is available in wheezy-backports.

wget must be installed on local computer.

Manifest must use the raw format, provider will automatically transform the disk to a vhd disk format.

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:

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:

"system" : { 
    "waagent" : {
       "conf": "path_to_my_conf_file",  # optional
       "version" : "2.0.4"              # mandatory
    }
}, ...

Waagent versions are available at: https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/releases
