Get up to speed with deploying and managing Linux workloads in an Azure environmentKey FeaturesManage and deploy virtual machines in your Azure environmentExplore various open source tools to integrate automation and orchestrationLeverage Linux features to create, run, and manage containersBook DescriptionAzure’s market share has increased massively and enterprises are adopting it rapidly, while Linux is a widely-used operating system and has proven to be one of the most popular workloads on Azure. It has thus become crucial for Linux administrators and Microsoft professionals to be well versed with managing Linux workloads in an Azure environment.With this guide, system administrators will be able to deploy, automate, and orchestrate containers in Linux on Azure. The book follows a hands-on approach to help you understand DevOps, monitor Linux workloads on Azure and perform advanced system administration. Complete with systematic explanations of concepts, examples and self-assessment questions, the chapters will give you useful insights into Linux and Azure. You’ll explore some of Linux’s advanced features for managing multiple workloads and learn to deploy virtual machines (VMs) in Azure. Dedicated sections will also guide you with managing and extending Azure VMs’ capabilities and understanding automation and orchestration with Ansible and PowerShell DSC. In later chapters, you’ll cover useful Linux troubleshooting and monitoring techniques that will enable you to maintain your workload on Azure.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to make the most out of Azure’s services to efficiently deploy and manage your Linux workloads.What you will learnUnderstand why Azure is the ideal solution for your open source workloadsSuccessfully deploy Linux in an Azure environmentUse configuration management to manage Linux in AzureWork with containers in LinuxUse Azure's identity management systems to enhance Linux securityAutomate deployment with Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and PowerShellEmploy Ansible to manage Linux instances in a public cloud environmentWho this book is forThis book is for system administrators who want to deploy and manage their workloads in Azure. Prior experience with system administration and a basic understanding of Azure would be useful.

Develop a solid understanding of cloud computing, Linux virtual machine, container virtualization, and other fundamental concepts to create and manage your Linux workload in AzureKey FeaturesDeploy and manage virtual machines in the Azure environmentExplore open source tools to integrate automation and orchestrationImplement Linux features to create and manage containersBook DescriptionThanks 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.What you will learnGrasp the fundamentals of virtualization and cloud computingUnderstand file hierarchy and mount new filesystemsMaintain the life cycle of your application in Azure Kubernetes ServiceManage resources with the Azure CLI and PowerShellManage users, groups, and filesystem permissionsUse Azure Resource Manager to redeploy virtual machinesImplement configuration management to configure a VM correctlyBuild a container using DockerWho this book is forIf you are a Linux administrator or a Microsoft professional looking to deploy and manage your workload in Azure, this book is for you. Although not necessary, knowledge of Linux and Azure will assist with understanding core concepts.
