16.3. Adding Microsoft Azure Resource Manager Details to a Compute Profile

Procedure

1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Infrastructure > Compute Profiles.
2. In the Compute Profiles window, click the name of an existing compute profile, or click Create Compute Profile, enter a Name, and click Submit.
3. Click the name of the Azure compute resource.
4. From the Resource group list, select the resource group to provision to.
5. From the VM Size list, select a size of a virtual machine to provision.
6. From the Platform list, select Linux. Satellite does not support provisioning virtual machines running Microsoft operating systems.
7. In the Username field, enter a user name to authenticate with. Note that the username that you enter for compute profile must be the same that you use when creating an image.

8. To authenticate the user, use one of the following options:

   • To authenticate using a password, enter a password in the Password field.
   • To authenticate using an SSH key, enter an SSH key in the SSH Key field.
9. Optional: If you want the virtual machine to use a premium virtual machine disk, select the Premium OS Disk check box.
10. From the OS Disk Caching list, select the disc caching setting.
11. Optional: In the Custom Script Command field, enter commands to perform on the virtual machine when the virtual machine is provisioned.
12. Optional: If you want to run custom scripts when provisioning finishes, in the Comma separated file URIs field, enter comma-separated file URIs of scripts to use. The scripts must contain sudo at the beginning because Red Hat Satellite downloads files to the /var/lib/waagent/custom-script/download/0/ directory on the host and scripts require sudo privileges to be executed.
13. Optional: If you want to create an additional volume on the VM, click the Add Volume button, enter the Size in GB and select the Data Disk Caching method.
14. Click Add Interface.
15. From the Azure Subnet list, select the Azure subnet to provision to.
16. From the Public IP list, select the public IP setting.
17. Optional: If you want the virtual machine to use a static private IP, select the Static Private IP check box.
18. Click Submit.

For CLI Users

1. Create a compute profile to use with the Azure Resource Manager compute resource:

   # hammer compute-profile create --name compute_profile_name

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. Add Azure details to the compute profile. With the username setting, enter the SSH user name for image access. Note that the username that you enter for compute profile must be the same that you use when creating an image.

   # hammer compute-profile values create \
   --compute-profile "compute_profile_name" \
   --compute-resource azure_cr_name \
   --compute-attributes="resource_group=resource_group,vm_size=Standard_B1s,username=azure_user,password=azure_password,platform=Linux,script_command=touch /var/tmp/text.txt" \
   --interface="compute_public_ip=Dynamic,compute_network=mysubnetID,compute_private_ip=false"
   --volume="disk_size_gb=5,data_disk_caching=None"

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Optional: If you want to run scripts on the virtual machine after provisioning, specify the following settings:

   • To enter the script directly, with the script_command setting, enter a command to be executed on the provisioned virtual machine.
   • To run a script from a URI, with the script_uris setting, enter comma-separated file URIs of scripts to use. The scripts must contain sudo at the beginning because Red Hat Satellite downloads files to the /var/lib/waagent/custom-script/download/0/ directory on the host and therefore scripts require sudo privileges to be executed.
