Azure provider

This provider generates raw images for Microsoft Azure computing platform. It also supports an optional virtio integration.

Setup

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

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:

"azure" : { "waagent" : "path_to_my_conf_file" }, ...
