This repo has several Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates that you can use to setup an Azure VM for deployment script execution.
There are three ARM templates involved:
- VM template - Creates the VM with a managed service identity (MSI).
- RBAC template - Grants the VM's MSI subscription owner rights so that it can create new resource groups and resources.
- Custom script extension (CSE) template - Launches the deployment script.
This setup has two primary use cases:
- For deployments that do not leverage ARM templates.
- To compliment ARM-templated-based deployments that have scripts for actions not supported by ARM (e.g. create a certificate in Key Vault or upload a file to a storage account) or actions that are completely outside of ARM (e.g. bootstrap Kubernetes)
- Add a way to log to somewhere persistent
- Don't download AzureRM PS module via Nuget, include zipped module in fileUris, unzip and load.
- Switch Windows image to Win10 so that we don't need UseBasicParsing
- Test for Azure China, in particular call to
management.azure.cominazure-cse-utils.ps1 - Make public-ip optional through a parameter
debug - Add Linux VM and Linux CSE
