Hands-On Linux Administration on Azure

Chapter 2: Getting Started with the Azure Cloud

In the first chapter, we covered the history of, and the ideas behind, virtualization and cloud computing. After that, you read about the Microsoft Azure cloud. This chapter will help you take your first steps into the world of Azure, get access to Azure, explore the different Linux offerings, and deploy your first Linux virtual machine.

After deployment, you will need access to your virtual machine using Secure Shell (SSH) with password authentication or using an SSH key pair.

To take the first steps on your journey into the Azure cloud, it is important to complete all the exercises and examine the outcomes. In this chapter, we will be using PowerShell as well as the Azure CLI. Feel free to follow whichever you're comfortable with; however, learning both won't hurt. The key objectives of this chapter are:

Description

Thanks to its flexibility in delivering scalable cloud solutions, Microsoft Azure is a suitable platform for managing all your workloads. You can use it to implement Linux virtual machines and containers, and to create applications in open source languages with open APIs. This Linux administration book first takes you through the fundamentals of Linux and Azure to prepare you for the more advanced Linux features in later chapters. With the help of real-world examples, you’ll learn how to deploy virtual machines (VMs) in Azure, expand their capabilities, and manage them efficiently. You will manage containers and use them to run applications reliably, and in the concluding chapter, you'll explore troubleshooting techniques using a variety of open source tools. By the end of this book, you'll be proficient in administering Linux on Azure and leveraging the tools required for deployment.

Who is this book for?

If you are a Linux administrator or a Microsoft professional looking to deploy and manage your workload in Azure, this book is for you. Although not necessary, knowledge of Linux and Azure will assist with understanding core concepts.

What you will learn

  • Grasp the fundamentals of virtualization and cloud computing
  • Understand file hierarchy and mount new filesystems
  • Maintain the life cycle of your application in Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Manage resources with the Azure CLI and PowerShell
  • Manage users, groups, and filesystem permissions
  • Use Azure Resource Manager to redeploy virtual machines
  • Implement configuration management to configure a VM correctly
  • Build a container using Docker

I bought this book to gain a better understanding as most companies are moving towards Linux. It's an easy to follow book packed with examples that are well explained. It also helps you with making choices and explains the "why" behind the technology.It's a really great book for beginners, even if you have no Azure knowledge, this book will guide you. Even the more experienced administrators might get something out of it, topics such as: Ansible, Terraform and container virtualization.
