Getting Started With Azure
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2014.1.0
|
|
|
|
Azure is a cloud service by Microsoft providing virtual machines, SQL services,
|
|
media services, and more. This document describes how to use Salt Cloud to
|
|
create a virtual machine on Azure, with Salt installed.
|
|
|
|
More information about Azure is located at `http://www.windowsazure.com/
|
|
<http://www.windowsazure.com/>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
* The `Azure <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/azure>`_ Python SDK.
|
|
* A Microsoft Azure account
|
|
* OpenSSL (to generate the certificates)
|
|
* `Salt <https://github.com/saltstack/salt>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Set up the provider config at ``/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf
|
|
|
|
my-azure-config:
|
|
provider: azure
|
|
subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
|
|
certificate_path: /etc/salt/azure.pem
|
|
|
|
# Set up the location of the salt master
|
|
#
|
|
minion:
|
|
master: saltmaster.example.com
|
|
|
|
# Optional
|
|
management_host: management.core.windows.net
|
|
|
|
The certificate used must be generated by the user. OpenSSL can be used to
|
|
create the management certificates. Two certificates are needed: a .cer file,
|
|
which is uploaded to Azure, and a .pem file, which is stored locally.
|
|
|
|
To create the .pem file, execute the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/salt/azure.pem -out /etc/salt/azure.pem
|
|
|
|
To create the .cer file, execute the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
openssl x509 -inform pem -in /etc/salt/azure.pem -outform der -out /etc/salt/azure.cer
|
|
|
|
After creating these files, the .cer file will need to be uploaded to
|
|
Azure via the "Upload a Management Certificate" action of the "Management Certificates"
|
|
tab within the "Settings" section of the management portal.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, a ``management_host`` may be configured, if necessary for the region.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud Profiles
|
|
==============
|
|
Set up an initial profile at ``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
azure-ubuntu:
|
|
provider: my-azure-config
|
|
image: 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-12_04_3-LTS-amd64-server-20131003-en-us-30GB'
|
|
size: Small
|
|
location: 'East US'
|
|
ssh_username: azureuser
|
|
ssh_password: verybadpass
|
|
slot: production
|
|
media_link: 'http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds'
|
|
|
|
These options are described in more detail below. Once configured, the profile
|
|
can be realized with a salt command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt-cloud -p azure-ubuntu newinstance
|
|
|
|
This will create an salt minion instance named ``newinstance`` in Azure. If
|
|
the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically
|
|
be signed on the master.
|
|
|
|
Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to
|
|
it can be verified with Salt:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt newinstance test.ping
|
|
|
|
|
|
Profile Options
|
|
===============
|
|
The following options are currently available for Azure.
|
|
|
|
provider
|
|
--------
|
|
The name of the provider as configured in
|
|
`/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf`.
|
|
|
|
image
|
|
-----
|
|
The name of the image to use to create a VM. Available images can be viewed
|
|
using the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt-cloud --list-images my-azure-config
|
|
|
|
size
|
|
----
|
|
The name of the size to use to create a VM. Available sizes can be viewed using
|
|
the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt-cloud --list-sizes my-azure-config
|
|
|
|
location
|
|
--------
|
|
The name of the location to create a VM in. Available locations can be viewed
|
|
using the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt-cloud --list-locations my-azure-config
|
|
|
|
ssh_username
|
|
------------
|
|
The user to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt.
|
|
|
|
ssh_password
|
|
------------
|
|
The password to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt.
|
|
|
|
slot
|
|
----
|
|
The environment to which the hosted service is deployed. Valid values are
|
|
`staging` or `production`. When set to `production`, the resulting URL of the
|
|
new VM will be `<vm_name>.cloudapp.net`. When set to `staging`, the resulting
|
|
URL will contain a generated hash instead.
|
|
|
|
media_link
|
|
----------
|
|
This is the URL of the container that will store the disk that this VM uses.
|
|
Currently, this container must already exist. If a VM has previously been
|
|
created in the associated account, a container should already exist. In the web
|
|
interface, go into the Storage area and click one of the available storage
|
|
selections. Click the Containers link, and then copy the URL from the container
|
|
that will be used. It generally looks like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds
|
|
|
|
|
|
Show Instance
|
|
=============
|
|
This action is a thin wrapper around ``--full-query``, which displays details on
|
|
a single instance only. In an environment with several machines, this will save
|
|
a user from having to sort through all instance data, just to examine a single
|
|
instance.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance |
