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.

  • Applications are developed in-house, maybe even on your local computer. Once finished, applications are deployed in Azure. Updates will be applied to the running workload.
  • This is the same scenario, but now the updates will be done by deploying a new VM.
  • Applications are delivered by another vendor.

These three examples are very common and can affect the way that you want to deploy your workload.

What Do You Need?

Before jumping into the deployment, you should know what you need or, in other words, what resources are required to make your application work properly. Additionally, everything in Azure has a limit and a quota. Some limits are hard, and some can be increased by reaching out to Microsoft Support. To see the complete...
