Azure

OPS can run on Microsoft Azure assuming your environment is setup.

Pre-requisites

1. Create a new resource group.

2. Create a storage account - that is your bucket.

3. You might need to login first.

     az login --scope https://graph.windows.net//.default

4. Create a quickstart auth:

     az ad sp create-for-rbac --sdk-auth > quickstart.auth

5. Create a role using the clientID as the assignee inside quickstart.auth:

     az role assignment create --assignee dead-beef-feed-face --role Contributor

Most of the environment variables you need will be found in this json file.

Image Operations

Create Image

If you have already created an Ops project, you can update your existing config.json. You need to add CloudConfig which mentions specific details like ProjectID, BucketName.

{
  "CloudConfig" :{
    "Zone": "us-west2-a",
    "BucketName":"nanostest"
  }
}

Once, you have updated config.json you can create an image in Azure with the following command.

#!/bin/sh

# used for uploading blob
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT="nanostest"
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=""

# used for create
export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT=""
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

# used for everything?
export AZURE_BASE_GROUP_NAME="bob"

GOOS=linux go build -o gtest2

ops image create <elf_file|program> -c config.json -t azure -a gtest2

The newer version of ops uses Azure Galleries to store images as Azure has been moving away from their older image storage now. In fact most new instance types require it.

If you wish to override the default gallery name of 'nanos_gallery' you can export an env var like so:

export AZURE_GALLERY_NAME="my_new_gallery"

List Images

You can list existing images on Azure with ops image list.

export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT=""
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""
ops image list -t azure

Delete Image

export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT=""
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

ops image delete -t azure bob2

Instance Operations

Create Instance

export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=""

export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT=""
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

export AZURE_BASE_GROUP_NAME=""

ops instance create bob -z westus2 -t azure

VPC, Subnet and Security Group

By default, ops creates a VPC, a subnet and a security group per instance.

You can select a different VPC, subnet or security group using the configuration file. The keys to set are CloudConfig.VPC, CloudConfig.Subnet and CloudConfig.SecurityGroup.

{
    "CloudConfig":{
        "VPC": "vpc-name",
        "Subnet": "subnet-name",
        "SecurityGroup": "sg-name"
    }
}

IP Forwarding

By default, IP forwarding is disabled on Azure.

If you would like to enable IP forwarding when creating the instance you can use the following:

{
    "RunConfig":{
      "CanIPForward": true
    }
}

List Instances

export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT=""
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

export AZURE_BASE_GROUP_NAME=""

ops instance list -t azure -z us-west-2

Get Logs for Instance

You can get logs from serial console of a particular instance using ops instance logs command. The logs are stored in your cloud storage bucket.

export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=""
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=""

export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT=""
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

export AZURE_BASE_GROUP_NAME=""

ops instance logs -t azure gtest2-image -z us-west-2

Delete Instance

Volume Operations

Create Volume

Create a small 1mb min. volume locally:

ops volume create avol

Upload and set the size to 50gb remotely:

#!/bin/sh

export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=""
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=""

export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT="westus2"
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

export AZURE_BASE_GROUP_NAME=""

ops volume create avol -s 50g -t azure

List Volumes

#!/bin/sh

export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=""
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=""

export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=""
export AZURE_LOCATION_DEFAULT="westus2"
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=""
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

export AZURE_BASE_GROUP_NAME=""

ops volume list -t azure

Networking Considerations

IPV6 Networking

IPV6 support differs from cloud to cloud.

You can enable IPV6 on Azure with the following config:

{
  "CloudConfig" :{
    "EnableIPv6": true,
    }
}
