Microsoft Azure Cloud Provisioner

Puppet Module to launch and manage Microsoft Microsoft Azure Services like Virtual Machines, Virtual Network and SQL Database services.

This module requires Puppet 2.7.2 or later.

Library Features

  • Virtual Machine Management

    • Images
    • list images
    • Virtual Machines
      • create linux based VMs and ssh with cert and key option enabled for ssh and WINRM (both http & https)enabled for windows based VMs
    • list, shut down, delete, find virtual machine deployments. While shutting down your VMs the provisioning state would be deallocated and this VM will not be included in the billing cycle.
      • Create VM for a specific virtual network

  • Virtual Network Management

    • List VNet
    • Create VNet
      • via parameters
      • via xml file

  • SQL Database Server Management

    • list, create, list sqldb servers & password reset for a sqldb server

  • Storage Account Management

    • create, delete, update and list storage accounts.

  • Cloud Service Management

    • create, delete, upload_certificate and list cloud services

  • Service Bus Management

    • create_queue, create_topic, list_topics, list_queues, delete_topic and delete_queue

Getting Started

Required Gems

  • azure (0.6.4)
  • net-ssh (>= 2.1.4)
  • net-scp (>= 1.0.4)
  • winrm (>= 1.1.3)
  • highline
  • tilt

Manage Virtual machine

You may launch a new instance and install puppet agent with this module installed using the following single command:

$puppet azure_vm create --management-certificate pem-or-pfx-file-path --azure-subscription-id=your-subscription-id \
--image b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-13_04-amd64-server-20130501-en-us-30GB --location 'west us' 
--vm-name vmname --vm-user username --password ComplexPassword  --puppet-master-ip 198.62.195.5

Once launched, you should be able to SSH to the new system using the username and password.

locations         List Microsoft Azure locations
servers           List Microsoft Azure node instances
shutdown          Shutdown Microsoft Azure node instances
start             Starts Microsoft Azure node instances
update_endpoint   update existing endpoint of a virtual machine
delete_endpoint   Delete endpoint of virtual machine.
add_disk          Adds a data disk to a virtual machine.
add_role          Create multiple roles under the same cloud service

To list all options for any action

Certificate Management

  • Currently the sdk supports *.pem or *.pfx (passwordless pfx) for service management operations. Following are the steps discussed on various cert operations.

    • To create pfx, simply download the publishsettings file for your subscription, copy the contents of Management Certificate from the publishsettings and save it in a file and name the file as your cert.pfx. This pfx will be a passwordless pfx which can be supplied as a cert parameter for Service Management Commands

    • Using the following openssl commands to extract the pem file and pass the pem file as management cert parameter.

      • To get only private key from pfx use Openssl.exe pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nocerts -out cert.pem

      • To remove passphrase from the above private key use Openssl.exe rsa -in cert.pem -out certprivnopassword.pem

      • To extract both public & private keys from pfx use Openssl.exe pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -out certprivpub.pem

      • To extract only public key from pem use Openssl x509 -inform pem -in certprivpub.pem -pubkey -out certpub.pem -outform pem

      • Finally copy the public key & private key to a file *.pem and pass that pem file to management cert parameter.

    • To extract pem from custom certificate, export the pfx, follow the above steps to convert to pem and pass that pem file to management cert parameter.
