HTTP base URL for a custom endpoint, such as Azure Stack. The /metadata/endpoints
path will be added to the URL.
Azure Resource Manager uses a separate VirtualMachineExtension object to pass userdata scripts to the virtual
machine. Arbitrary shell commands can be passed via the userdata
parameter, or via a file local to the Salt
Cloud system using the userdata_file
parameter. Note that the local file is not treated as a script by the
extension, so "one-liners" probably work best. If greater functionality is desired, a web-hosted script file can
be specified via userdata_file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/account/repo/master/azure-script.py
, which
will be executed on the system after VM creation. For Windows systems, script files ending in .ps1
will be
executed with powershell.exe
. The userdata
parameter takes precedence over the userdata_file
parameter
when creating the custom script extension.
This parameter, which holds the local path to the Salt Minion installer package, is used to determine if the virtual machine type will be "Windows". Only set this parameter on profiles which install Windows operating systems.
Example /etc/salt/cloud.providers
or
/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf
configuration:
my-azure-config with username and password:
driver: azurearm
subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
username: larry
password: 123pass
Or my-azure-config with service principal:
driver: azurearm
subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
tenant: ABCDEFAB-1234-ABCD-1234-ABCDEFABCDEF
client_id: ABCDEFAB-1234-ABCD-1234-ABCDEFABCDEF
secret: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
cloud_environment: AZURE_US_GOV_CLOUD
The Service Principal can be created with the new Azure CLI (https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli) with:
az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "http://<yourappname>" --role <role> --scopes <scope>
For example, this creates a service principal with 'owner' role for the whole subscription:
az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "http://mysaltapp" --role owner --scopes /subscriptions/3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
*Note: review the details of Service Principals. Owner role is more than you normally need, and you can restrict
scope to a resource group or individual resources.
