Azure vm create quickstart

-- Treat Azure resources like containers. Create them, run your tasks and then delete them. pets vs cattle

-- The steps below are written using AZ cli so that commands work in most terminals and in the cloud portal terminal. You can install and use Azure powershell but syntax will be different

-- you can create Windows or Linux VMs but not Macs. You'll just need to change the authentication and the URN in your create command. I'm including Windows below, and will add Linux eventually

Install the az cli on your machine

  • Windows winget install -e --id Microsoft.AzureCLI

  • Mac brew update && brew install azure-cli

  • Linux curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

Login to azure

  • note for Windows users: You'll need to go into WSL/Linux first. AZ cli likes a bash prompt. I use ubuntu, Open up cmd or powershell and type either wsl or <your-distro-name> ex: ubuntu

  • This command will open up your default browser and take you through azure authentication. az login

Part 1: Configure your resource group, network and security rules.

You only need to do this part once.

  1. Set variables for desired location and resource group name. Use az account list-locations to find the full list of available locations.

Main US ones are westus, centralus, eastus

resourcegroup="<rg name>"
location="<location>"
vnet="<virtual network name>"
nsg="<nsg name>"
  1. Create a resource group

az group create --name $resourcegroup --location $location

  1. Create a virtual network az network vnet create --name $vnet --resource-group $resourcegroup --address-prefix 10.0.0.0/16 --subnet-name default --subnet-prefixes 10.0.0.0/24

  2. Create a network security group

az network nsg create --resource-group $resourcegroup --name $nsg

  1. Create security group rules to control ports ports for network traffic. These are very basic for http,rdp and ssh. Feel free to add more.

az network nsg rule create --resource-group $resourcegroup --nsg-name $nsg --name RuleWeb --protocol tcp --priority 1001 --destination-port-range 80 --access allow

az network nsg rule create --resource-group $resourcegroup --nsg-name $nsg --name RuleRDP --protocol tcp --priority 1002 --destination-port-range 3389 --access allow

az network nsg rule create --resource-group $resourcegroup --nsg-name $nsg --name RuleSSH --protocol tcp --priority 1003 --destination-port-range 22 --access allow

Ubuntu test machine setup guide

Walks you through:

  • Creating an ubuntu VM in azure
  • Installing a GUI and reconnecting via RDP
  • Installing sys reqs for Docker Desktop
  • Installing Docker Desktop

Create an ubuntu VM using az cli

  • Set VM parameters
  • I'm using password instead of SSH keys because we ultimately want RDP connection. If you use SSH, you have to create the uname/pwd anyway for RDP
resourcegroup="jbivski"
location="eastus2"
nsg="jbivnsg"
vmname="bun451test"
username="azureuser"
pwd="Password1234567"
size="Standard_D4s_v3"
osdisksize=250
urn="Canonical:0001-com-ubuntu-confidential-vm-jammy:22_04-lts-cvm:22.04.202304260"
  • Create the VM
az vm create --name $vmname -g $resourcegroup  --image $urn --public-ip-sku Standard --admin-username $username --admin-password $pwd --os-disk-size-gb $osdisksize --public-ip-address-dns-name $vmname --size $size --nsg $nsg --no-wait
  • will add the cloudinit script later (havent written one I like yet)

Install a GUI in ubuntu

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/use-remote-desktop?tabs=azure-cli

  • Connect to the vm using ssh ssh azureuser@VMNAME.eastus2.cloudapp.azure.com

  • (Optional but probably required) Update the machine's kernel and OS.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean sudo reboot

  • Install xfce and xrdp
sudo apt-get update;
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install xfce4;
sudo apt install xfce4-session;
sudo apt-get -y install xrdp;
sudo systemctl enable xrdp;
sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert;
echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession
sudo reboot
  • Reconnect to the VM using RDP (port 3389 must be open in your NSG)

Install Desktop system requirements

https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/#system-requirements

  • minimum required extensions and tools
sudo apt-get update -y;
sudo apt-get install -y gnome-shell-extension-appindicator;
sudo apt-get install -y chromium-browser;
sudo apt install gnome-terminal
  • make sure KVM support is enabled. you need to see a 1 besides one of the KVM's listed

lsmod | grep kvm

  • add your user to the kvm group to access virtualization

sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER

Install docker repository and desktop.

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
  • Add Docker’s official GPG key and set up the repository:
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

echo "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

  • Download the desired deb package https://desktop.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/docker-desktop-4.18.0-amd64.deb?utm_source=docker&utm_medium=webreferral&utm_campaign=docs-driven-download-linux-amd64

  • Install with apt

sudo apt-get update -y
#cd to the file download location
sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.deb

Ignore N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/azureuser/Downloads/docker-desktop-4.19.0-amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

  • Launch Desktop (seems to want a reboot first, or for the engine to be manually started)

systemctl --user start docker-desktop

  • you can also use the Applications > Development menu to launch using the GUI
