We will setup a highly available master/slave Linux cluster on Azure using shared storage by mounting Azure Files (Preview feature) via NFS on Linux.
Part 1: in this video, we create an Azure Files share and mount it via NFS on Linux on Azure.
NOTE: Each virtual machine has a temporary, local resource disk attached. Because data on a resource disk may not be durable across reboots, it is often used by applications and processes running in the virtual machine for transient and temporary storage of data. It is also used to store page or swap files for the operating system. On Linux, the resource disk is typically managed by the Azure Linux Agent and automatically mounted to /mnt/resource (or /mnt on Ubuntu images). Note that the resource disk is a *temporary* disk, and might be emptied when the VM is deprovisioned. On the other hand, on Linux the data disk might be named by the kernel as `/dev/sdc`, and users will need to partition, format and mount that resource.
