2. Linux on Azure SmartLab
Microsoft is now the leading open-source contributor in the world, they have just over taken Facebook and now provide the most source to communities to use and contribute.
Microsoft have also given us command line children many great ways of installing, provisioning, automating and using Linux(nix) distributions in Azure.

Awesomeness
Awesomeness
Run existing and new business-critical enterprise Linux infrastructure workloads in the cloud to leverage hyper-scale economics
Make the most out of your Azure investment but also take advantage of quick and easy free deployment methods.
Use Microsoft’s robust cloud to enhance your open-source experience.

4. The CLI and quick-create
Linux on Azure Smartlab
The CLI and quick-create
Installing the Azure command line interface and using quick-create
Head over to Microsoft and get the CLI package.
Install the Azure CLI
For Mac, it’s a simple installer pkg file.
For Linux, use node package manager. apt-get install npm nodejs npm install -g azure-cli
Fast and Easy Authentication
After installing, you can authenticate your CLI so it receives a token so you can easily access your Azure subscription. ~ $ azure login info: Executing command login info: To sign in, use a web browser to open the page Enter the code CUUU9MQZM to authenticate. ~ $ azure account list info: Executing command account list data: Name Id Current State data: data: Visual Studio Enterprise bd10f6e4-500a-44bd-872c-85b999df7c3f true Enabled info: account list command OK
When in doubt “azure help”
Using quick-create.
Quick create is a super one liner to create Azure VM’s azure vm quick-create \ -g newResourceGroup \ -n LinuxVMtoASR \ -l northeurope \ -y Linux \ -u wdt \ -M ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub \ -Q UbuntuLTS
Adding in the –M allows you to transfer your ssh key straight in, allowing only ssh key auth to the newly created box. This will disallow password authentication to the box as well.
Quick-create assigns network, an external DNS name and the port forwards for ssh. All the defaults to get your box out there.

Microsoft’s Open-Source Repo’s
Using Microsoft’s open source repo’s, templates and contributing.
Huge Repo’s on Github and Microsoft Website

Blank Template Example
Contributing
You can contribute your own quick-start templates if you find there is a need for one  Contributing guide and rules
Example
LAMP App Server on Ubuntu
Typical JSON metadata example {
"itemDisplayName": "Blank template",
"description": "A blank template and empty parameters file.",
"summary": " ",
"githubUsername": "bmoore-msft",
"dateUpdated": " " }
Typical Azure Deploy JSON
"$schema": " 01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": " ",
"parameters": { },
"variables": {
"resources": [ ],
"outputs": {
Hosting or creating a link that auto links to Azure.

7. Azure AD Authentication
Linux on Azure Smartlab
Azure AD Authentication
Using Azure Active Directory to Authenticate on Linux.
Authenticate PAM with AAD Connect.
With a script found on GitHub, written by this guy We are able to allow the PAM authentication system on Linux to send authentication requests to Azure AD, allowing us to manage authentication across all our Linux machines anywhere. They do not need to be hosted in Azure.
The script only needs http access out, nothing is required to come back in on the Firewall.
The script can be deployed after the creation of the VM automatically using custom extension scripts.
Requirements for AAD authentication to work
Make sure that your server has access to the internet, it needs to get to your AAD and to install specific packages unless you have added them to your image. You can lock this down later.
Install npm, nodejs on the server (git is optional)
Aad-login files from GitHub
Client-ID or App-ID created inside the Azure Active Directory
Users in Active Directory (password cannot have reset flag active) they will need to login to the azure portal via web and reset their password.
ssh -l wdt linux-north bla bla bla
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install npm
npm install azure-cli -g
azure
ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
vim parameters.txt
apt-get instll git nodejs npm
git clone
cd aad-login/
mkdir /opt/aad-login
cp aad-login.js package.json /opt/aad-login/
cp aad-login /usr/local/bin
cd /opt/aad-login/
package.json
npm install
vim aad-login.js
vim /etc/pam.d/common-auth
useradd -m linuxguy
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
service sshd restart
service ssh restart
chsh linuxguy
vi /etc/sudoers
adduser -m otherdude
useradd -m otherdude
chsh otherdude

9. Azure Site Recovery Migration
Linux on Azure Smartlab
Azure Site Recovery Migration
Migrating Linux workloads to Azure.
Why use ASR to migrate ?
The ability to migrate without downtime.
You don’t need to migrate at all, it’s a means of making sure your workloads are redundant for future
Changing Azure regions can mean less cost.
You can reduce your on premise footprint.
Fast and Easy.
Pre-Reqs
Azure Subscription
Configuration Server either On-Premise or in Azure
Backup vault to connect the configuration Server to.
