7.3. Configuring a RHEL VM on Azure with AMD SEV SNP

Procedure

1. Log in to Azure by using the Azure CLI utility:

   $ az login

2. Create an azure resource group for selected availability zone:

   $ az group create --name <example_resource_group> --location eastus

3. Deploy a RHEL instance with SEV-SNP, for example, the Standard_DC4as_V5 instance type:

   $ az vm create --resource-group <example_resource_group> \
   --name <example-rhel-10-sev-snp-instance> \
   --image <RedHat:rhel:10_x64_Gen2:latest> \
   --size <Standard_DC4as_V5> \
   --admin-username <example_azure_user> \
   --generate-ssh-keys \
   --security-type ConfidentialVM \
   --os-disk-security-encryption-type DiskWithVMGuestState

4. Connect to the RHEL instance:

   $ ssh <example_azure_user>@<example_ip_address_of_VM>
