Technical Requirements
For the purpose of this chapter, you'll need to deploy a Linux VM in Azure, with the distribution of your choice.
In terms of sizing, you'll need at least 2 GB of temporary storage, and the ability to add a minimum of three extra disks. For instance, the B2S VM size is a good starting point. In this chapter, I have shared the steps for Ubuntu, Red Hat, and SUSE systems; you can choose which distribution to follow.
