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.

Further Reading

Carrying out further reading is not a very easy thing to do in the area of container virtualization. For systemd-nspawn, it's relatively easy: the man pages are an easy read. Let's make a suggestion that is relevant for systemd-nspawn and even Docker: Red Hat provides a document on their website called the Resource Management Guide (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/resource_management_guide/) with good information about cgroups.

A couple of references on Docker are listed here:

  • Orchestrating Docker, by Shrikrishna Holla, where you can understand how to manage and deploy Docker services
  • Mastering Docker Enterprise: A companion guide for agile container adoption, by Mark Panthofer, where you can explore add-on services of Docker EE and how they can be used
