========================== Getting Started With Azure ========================== .. versionadded:: 2014.1.0 Azure is a cloud service by Microsoft providing virtual machines, SQL services, media services, and more. This document describes how to use Salt Cloud to create a virtual machine on Azure, with Salt installed. More information about Azure is located at `http://www.windowsazure.com/ `_. Dependencies ============ * `Microsoft Azure SDK for Python `_ >= 1.0.2 * The python-requests library, for Python < 2.7.9. * A Microsoft Azure account * OpenSSL (to generate the certificates) * `Salt `_ Configuration ============= Set up the provider config at ``/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf``: .. code-block:: yaml # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf my-azure-config: driver: azure subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617 certificate_path: /etc/salt/azure.pem # Set up the location of the salt master # minion: master: saltmaster.example.com # Optional management_host: management.core.windows.net The certificate used must be generated by the user. OpenSSL can be used to create the management certificates. Two certificates are needed: a .cer file, which is uploaded to Azure, and a .pem file, which is stored locally. To create the .pem file, execute the following command: .. code-block:: bash openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/salt/azure.pem -out /etc/salt/azure.pem To create the .cer file, execute the following command: .. code-block:: bash openssl x509 -inform pem -in /etc/salt/azure.pem -outform der -out /etc/salt/azure.cer After creating these files, the .cer file will need to be uploaded to Azure via the "Upload a Management Certificate" action of the "Management Certificates" tab within the "Settings" section of the management portal. Optionally, a ``management_host`` may be configured, if necessary for the region. .. note:: .. versionchanged:: 2015.8.0 The ``provider`` parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to ``driver``. This change was made to avoid confusion with the ``provider`` parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use ``driver`` to refer to the Salt cloud module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use ``provider`` to refer to provider configurations that you define. Cloud Profiles ============== Set up an initial profile at ``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles``: .. code-block:: yaml azure-ubuntu: provider: my-azure-config image: 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-12_04_3-LTS-amd64-server-20131003-en-us-30GB' size: Small location: 'East US' ssh_username: azureuser ssh_password: verybadpass slot: production media_link: 'http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds' virtual_network_name: azure-virtual-network subnet_name: azure-subnet These options are described in more detail below. Once configured, the profile can be realized with a salt command: .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud -p azure-ubuntu newinstance This will create an salt minion instance named ``newinstance`` in Azure. If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master. Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be verified with Salt: .. code-block:: bash salt newinstance test.version Profile Options =============== The following options are currently available for Azure. provider -------- The name of the provider as configured in `/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf`. image ----- The name of the image to use to create a VM. Available images can be viewed using the following command: .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud --list-images my-azure-config size ---- The name of the size to use to create a VM. Available sizes can be viewed using the following command: .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud --list-sizes my-azure-config location -------- The name of the location to create a VM in. Available locations can be viewed using the following command: .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud --list-locations my-azure-config affinity_group -------------- The name of the affinity group to create a VM in. Either a ``location`` or an ``affinity_group`` may be specified, but not both. See Affinity Groups below. ssh_username ------------ The user to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt. ssh_password ------------ The password to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt. slot ---- The environment to which the hosted service is deployed. Valid values are `staging` or `production`. When set to `production`, the resulting URL of the new VM will be `.cloudapp.net`. When set to `staging`, the resulting URL will contain a generated hash instead. media_link ---------- This is the URL of the container that will store the disk that this VM uses. Currently, this container must already exist. If a VM has previously been created in the associated account, a container should already exist. In the web interface, go into the Storage area and click one of the available storage selections. Click the Containers link, and then copy the URL from the container that will be used. It generally looks like: .. code-block:: yaml http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds service_name ------------ The name of the service in which to create the VM. If this is not specified, then a service will be created with the same name as the VM. virtual_network_name -------------------- Optional. The name of the virtual network for the VM to join. If this is not specified, then no virtual network will be joined. subnet_name ------------ Optional. The name of the subnet in the virtual network for the VM to join. Requires that a ``virtual_network_name`` is specified. Show Instance ============= This action is a thin wrapper around ``--full-query``, which displays details on a single instance only. In an environment with several machines, this will save a user from having to sort through all instance data, just to examine a single instance. .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance Destroying VMs ============== There are certain options which can be specified in the global cloud configuration file (usually ``/etc/salt/cloud``) which affect Salt Cloud's behavior when a VM is destroyed. cleanup_disks ------------- .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0 Default is ``False``. When set to ``True``, Salt Cloud will wait for the VM to be destroyed, then attempt to destroy the main disk that is associated with the VM. cleanup_vhds ------------ .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0 Default is ``False``. Requires ``cleanup_disks`` to be set to ``True``. When also set to ``True``, Salt Cloud will ask Azure to delete the VHD associated with the disk that is also destroyed. cleanup_services ---------------- .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0 Default is ``False``. Requires ``cleanup_disks`` to be set to ``True``. When also set to ``True``, Salt Cloud will wait for the disk to be destroyed, then attempt to remove the service that is associated with the VM. Because the disk belongs to the service, the disk must be destroyed before the service can be. Managing Hosted Services ======================== .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0 An account can have one or more hosted services. A hosted service is required in order to create a VM. However, as mentioned above, if a hosted service is not specified when a VM is created, then one will automatically be created with the name of the name.

Azure management certificates are uploaded to Azure and stored at the subscription level. The management certificate store can hold up to 100 certificates per subscription. These certificates are used to authenticate your Windows Azure deployment. For more information on management certificates, see the following link. * `Manage Certificates`__ .. __: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg981929.aspx The following functions are available. list_management_certificates ---------------------------- List management certificates associated with the account. .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud -f list_management_certificates my-azure show_management_certificate --------------------------- Show the data for a specific management certificate associated with the account.

Because endpoints cannot be managed by the Azure Python SDK, Salt Cloud uses the API directly. With versions of Python before 2.7.9, the ``requests-python`` package needs to be installed in order for this to work. Additionally, the following needs to be set in the master's configuration file: .. code-block:: bash backend: requests The following functions are available. list_input_endpoints -------------------- List input endpoints associated with the deployment .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud -f list_input_endpoints my-azure service=myservice deployment=mydeployment show_input_endpoint ------------------- Show an input endpoint associated with the deployment .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud -f show_input_endpoint my-azure service=myservice \ deployment=mydeployment name=SSH add_input_endpoint ------------------ Add an input endpoint to the deployment.

This is not as elegant as using one of the other available clients in Windows, but it benefits Linux and Unix users, as there are fewer options available on those platforms. Blob Storage Configuration -------------------------- Blob storage must be configured differently than the standard Azure configuration. Both a ``storage_account`` and a ``storage_key`` must be specified either through the Azure provider configuration (in addition to the other Azure configuration) or via the command line. .. code-block:: yaml storage_account: mystorage storage_key: ffhj334fDSGFEGDFGFDewr34fwfsFSDFwe== storage_account ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is one of the storage accounts that is available via the ``list_storage`` function. storage_key ~~~~~~~~~~~ Both a primary and a secondary ``storage_key`` can be obtained by running the ``show_storage_keys`` function. Either key may be used.

Modifies the cache control string for the blob. blob_content_type ````````````````` Optional. Sets the blob's content type. blob_content_md5 ```````````````` Optional. Sets the blob's MD5 hash. blob_content_encoding ````````````````````` Optional. Sets the blob's content encoding. blob_content_language ````````````````````` Optional. Sets the blob's content language. lease_id ```````` Required if the blob has an active lease. blob_content_disposition ```````````````````````` Optional. Sets the blob's Content-Disposition header. The Content-Disposition response header field conveys additional information about how to process the response payload, and also can be used to attach additional metadata. For example, if set to attachment, it indicates that the user-agent should not display the response, but instead show a Save As dialog with a filename other than the blob name specified. put_blob ~~~~~~~~ Upload a blob .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud -f put_blob my-azure container=base name=top.sls blob_path=/srv/salt/top.sls salt-cloud -f put_blob my-azure container=base name=content.txt blob_content='Some content' container ````````` Name of existing container. name ```` Name of existing blob. blob_path ````````` The path on the local machine of the file to upload as a blob. Either this or blob_content must be specified. blob_content ```````````` The actual content to be uploaded as a blob. Either this or blob_path must me specified. cache_control ````````````` Optional. The Blob service stores this value but does not use or modify it. content_language ```````````````` Optional. Specifies the natural languages used by this resource. content_md5 ``````````` Optional. An MD5 hash of the blob content. This hash is used to verify the integrity of the blob during transport. When this header is specified, the storage service checks the hash that has arrived with the one that was sent. If the two hashes do not match, the operation will fail with error code 400 (Bad Request). blob_content_type ````````````````` Optional. Set the blob's content type. blob_content_encoding ````````````````````` Optional. Set the blob's content encoding. blob_content_language ````````````````````` Optional.

Sets the blob's cache control. meta_name_values ```````````````` A dict containing name, value for metadata. lease_id ```````` Required if the blob has an active lease. get_blob ~~~~~~~~ Download a blob .. code-block:: bash salt-cloud -f get_blob my-azure container=base name=top.sls local_path=/srv/salt/top.sls salt-cloud -f get_blob my-azure container=base name=content.txt return_content=True container ````````` Name of existing container. name ```` Name of existing blob. local_path `````````` The path on the local machine to download the blob to. Either this or return_content must be specified. return_content `````````````` Whether or not to return the content directly from the blob. If specified, must be True or False. Either this or the local_path must be specified. snapshot ```````` Optional. The snapshot parameter is an opaque DateTime value that, when present, specifies the blob snapshot to retrieve. lease_id ```````` Required if the blob has an active lease. progress_callback ````````````````` callback for progress with signature function(current, total) where current is the number of bytes transferred so far, and total is the size of the blob. max_connections ``````````````` Maximum number of parallel connections to use when the blob size exceeds 64MB. Set to 1 to download the blob chunks sequentially. Set to 2 or more to download the blob chunks in parallel. This uses more system resources but will download faster. max_retries ``````````` Number of times to retry download of blob chunk if an error occurs. retry_wait `````````` Sleep time in secs between retries.
