In this video, we'll create a fresh Debian 8 (jessie) Linux image with bootstrap-vz, then upload it to Azure and create a new VM. There is no need to roll out Hyper-V or any hypervisor to create a Linux image with the software that is necessary to run in Azure, and bootstrap-vz is a great piece of software for Debian and APT enthusiasts.
The prerequisites:
- sudo apt-get -y install python-setuptools parted kpartx qemu-utils
- git clone https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz.git
- cd bootstrap-vz/
- sudo python setup.py install
The azure-cli commands:
- azure vm image create Jessie-00 --location "South Central US" --os Linux /target/debian-jessie-amd64-150426.vhd
- azure vm create VM-Jessie-00 Jessie-00 -e 22 -l "South Central US" azureuser
Clik here to view.
