Hands-On Linux Administration on Azure - Second Edition

By: Kamesh Ganesan, Rithin Skaria, Frederik Vos

Overview of this book

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.

As a developer, you should give Kubernetes for Developers a try: Joseph Heck can tell you much more about the development life cycle using Kubernetes, using examples in Node.js and Python. In the last chapter of his book, he mentions emerging projects such as Helm and Brigade. We hope this will be explored...
