Microsoft is now the leading open-source contributor in the world, they have just over taken Facebook and now provide the most source to communities to use and contribute.

Microsoft have also given us command line children many great ways of installing, provisioning, automating and using Linux(nix) distributions in Azure.

The CLI and quick-create

Head over to Microsoft and get the CLI package.Install the Azure CLI

For Mac, it’s a simple installer pkg file. For Linux, use node package manager. root@LinuxVMtoASR:~# apt-get install npm nodejsroot@LinuxVMtoASR:~# npm install -g azure-cliFast and Easy AuthenticationAfter installing, you can authenticate your CLI so it receives a token so you can easily access your Azure subscription.wdt@Warrens-MacBook-Pro ~ $ azure logininfo: Executing command logininfo: To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://aka.ms/devicelogin. Enter the code CUUU9MQZM to authenticate.

key auth to the newly created box. This will disallow password authentication to the box as well.Quick-create assigns network, an external DNS name and the port forwards for ssh. All the defaults to get your box out there. Linux on Azure Smartlab

Azure AD Authentication

Authenticate PAM with AAD Connect. With a script found on GitHub, written by this guy

https://github.com/bureado/aad-loginWe are able to allow the PAM authentication system on Linux to send authentication requests to Azure AD, allowing us to manage authentication across all our Linux machines anywhere. They do not need to be hosted in Azure.The script only needs http access out, nothing is required to come back in on the Firewall. The script can be deployed after the creation of the VM automatically using custom extension scripts.Using Azure Active Directory to Authenticate on Linux.

Requirements for AAD authentication to workMake sure that your server has access to the internet, it needs to get to your AAD and to install specific packages unless you have added them to your image. You can lock this down later. Install npm, nodejs on the server (git is optional)Aad-login files from GitHubClient-ID or App-ID created inside the Azure Active DirectoryUsers in Active Directory (password cannot have reset flag active) they will need to login to the azure portal via web and reset their password.

Azure Site Recovery Migration

Why use ASR to migrate ? The ability to migrate without downtime.

You don’t need to migrate at all, it’s a means of making sure your workloads are redundant for futureChanging Azure regions can mean less cost. You can reduce your on premise footprint. Fast and Easy. Migrating Linux workloads to Azure.

Pre-Reqs Azure SubscriptionConfiguration Server either On-Premise or in AzureBackup vault to connect the configuration Server to.Linux on Azure Smartlab
